The English Home 2024- Made in Britain Honours Award Winner
The English Home magazine recently held its annual awards to recognise exceptional individuals and brands who have made notable achievements in sustainability, craftsmanship, collaborations, design reinventions, new ventures and innovation. These prestigious awards celebrate the most desirable products, imaginative designers and distinguished brands that have elevated the essence of comfort and luxury in English interiors over the past year.
We’re delighted to announce that Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company received one of the coveted Made in Britain awards for our exceptional Aurora bed frame launched in October 2024. Created by our skilled artisans to celebrate our 20th anniversary, the Aurora bed frame is made from 100% British iron and has a specially curated hand-painted finish.
“To celebrate our 20th anniversary, our esteemed artisans were tasked with creating a unique addition to our collection of handcrafted beds. With their superior skill in craftsmanship, they successfully fashioned a bedframe using 100% British iron, highlighting their talent and including an exclusive, hand-painted finish. The Aurora four-poster bedframe represents our artisans’ skill and commemorates our two decades of exceptional bed-making”. Amanda Oldfield, the Founder of Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Co., commented on the exceptional achievement of their artisans.
Standing alongside other iconic brands, such as David Hunt Lighting and Marlborough Tiles, each honours winner was chosen for their skilled designers and makers who use time-honoured techniques to produce expertly crafted and creative designs. This family-owned business is the only remaining independent metal bed maker certified by Made in Britain and perfectly embodies the classic essence of Made in Britain.

The magic of an iron bed
“After failing to find durable metal beds for my children, I established our family company. As a child, I had cherished memories of my grandparents’ sturdy iron beds, towering mattresses included. I wanted my children to experience the same bedtime joy and comfort.
From the outset, our family company has greatly emphasised authenticity and transparency in our work. Today, our small team of skilled artisans create beautiful signatures in our workshop located on the Sandringham Estate.”
