3 Antique Brass Beds, set: 1 double, 2 twins; 1890's Vintage

By JGC, 19 April, 2011
Description

Matched set of 3 antique brass beds.  1 double and 2 identical twins.  Very heavy construction of brass.  Interlocking frame rails made of cast iron (see photos).  Absolutely no rust anywhere.  Beds have lacquer finish,, appears to be original, to prevent tarnishing.  Excellent condition-only a couple of small dents in end caps, which can be removed and smoothed out--see photo.  Beds can be dismantled without tools for transport, since frame rails interlock via a unique tapered key/keyway into the headboard and footboard (see photos).  Beds are in original condition, never modified or upsized.  Very strong, heavy, and sturdy.  No wobble whatsoever.  Bottoms of beds' legs have original caster wheels.
