Brass & Iron Bed Restoration

Restoring brass and iron beds

We restore and repair antique brass and iron beds, from cleaning and polishing tarnished brass to repairing damaged frames and making replacement parts.

Whether a bed needs a little attention or a more complete restoration, we can bring it back to life while keeping its original character.

Single brass bed

This single brass bed came into the workshop badly tarnished. It was stripped down, and the brass was polished and lacquered before being reassembled.

Brass and iron bed restoration

This bed arrived with tarnished brass, missing ball finials and damaged paintwork on the iron frame. The frame was blast-cleaned, zinc-primed and painted black. The brass was polished and waxed, and replacement ball finials were made to match the originals.

The brasswork was removed from this bed, polished and lacquered, then carefully refitted.
