Victoria’s Story
Many years ago, a local sheep farmer entered our workshop with two crumbling old beds in desperate need of refurbishment. The beds had been hidden away for over 40 years in a shepherd’s cottage near the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where our workshop is based.
Although the beds needed a lot of love and care, we immediately recognised the classic elegance of the original antique designs. We explained that we’d be delighted to breathe a new lease of life into his beautiful old beds if he’d allow us to use the designs for two new beds of our own. Gladly, he agreed.
Discovered near the royal estate first purchased by Queen Victoria, we named our two beds Victoria and Beatrice, after the indomitable queen and her youngest daughter. The Victoria is quietly graceful, dignified without ostentation, like its royal ancestor.

Iron beds – powder-coated
- We recommend that you clean your metal bed frame with a fresh soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Avoid cleaning products that may contain solvents or ammonia.
- Authentic brass details will tarnish over time. As our brass is unlacquered, it can be cleaned using a quality brass cleaner. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- As our iron beds are heavy, we recommend a minimum of two people when moving or handling your bed.
- Never drag your bed and always lift it using the side rails.
- Heavy impacts may damage the powder-coated finish.
- Please note that careless handling may cause damage.

As the only carbon-neutral iron bed maker, working towards a sustainable future has been at the heart of our family company since we began.

As standard, our delivery team will unbox and unbag your goods so that they can take any packaging away with them. If you’d like your goods to remain in their original packaging, please let us know before your delivery team arrives and be sure to dispose of the packaging appropriately.

Our 30-day sleep promise covers our full range of handcrafted wrought iron beds. All that we ask is that you have seen your bed in person, in the correct style and colour, at our showroom. The bed must also be ordered from us directly.
