Divan Beds – Handcrafted Metal Beds with a Low Footboard
Our Divan Beds collection showcases handcrafted iron and brass bed frames with a low footboard – perfect for those seeking an open, airy look without sacrificing quality. Each bed is made to order in our Norfolk workshop using solid British metal and traditional blacksmithing techniques.
Low footend beds are ideal for smaller rooms, relaxed interiors, or simply for those who prefer a less enclosed feel at the foot of the bed. Every frame in this collection brings lasting strength, comfort, and timeless style.
Sophie – Iron Bed
A customer favourite, Sophie features a tall headboard and no footboard. Minimalist and elegant, it’s perfect for compact spaces or modern bedrooms.
Grace – Iron Bed
With gently curved lines and an open footend, Grace adds lightness and calm to any space. Crafted from solid iron and available in a range of colours.
Edward – Iron Bed
Timeless and versatile, Edward pairs a traditional headboard with a low, clean-lined base. Ideal for guest rooms or heritage-inspired interiors.
Isaac – Iron Bed
Modern, bold, and architectural — Isaac features a towering headboard and a completely open footend for a more relaxed and minimal profile.
Bertie – Brass Bed
Graceful and low-maintenance, the Rosie bed captures the charm of an old brass bed frame, offering the look of aged patina with the ease of a plated finish that resists tarnishing.
Customise Your Bed.
Every bed in our Divan collection is made to order, which means you can tailor the design to suit your space and style. Choose from all standard UK sizes — including single, double, king, and emperor — or request a bespoke size if you need something more specific. Iron frames are finished in your choice of over 10 powder-coated colours, while brass frames are hand-polished to a soft, natural shine.
You can also select your preferred base type, with either fixed or sprung slats for added support. For a truly personalised finish, we offer optional details like custom headboard height, decorative finials, and matching natural mattresses.
Built to Last.
Our low footboard beds are forged by hand using solid British metal and FSC®-certified timber slats. Every frame is quiet, durable, and resistant to everyday wear thanks to our quality craftsmanship and protective finishes.
Sleep Beautifully.
At Wrought Iron & Brass Bed Co., we believe good design should last a lifetime. That’s why we build every bed with care, purpose, and respect for the planet — combining timeless design with sustainable materials.
Crafted with Purpose
Our journey began with a simple disappointment — two brass beds that looked beautiful in photos but arrived flimsy and mass-produced. That experience sparked something greater: a commitment to build better. We made our first beds by hand, right here in Norfolk, and they’re still with us today — a daily reminder of what craftsmanship should be.
At Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Co., we don’t just build furniture — we create pieces with meaning. Each brass bed frame is shaped with care, made to order, and built to last for generations. Whether you choose a vintage-inspired brass bed, a grand four-poster, or a compact single brass bed, you’re choosing a legacy of quality, integrity, and timeless design.
Sharing the joy of a great night’s sleep
