Used brass beds made by Victorian designers — as well as those associated with Mid-Century Modern — are very popular at 1stDibs. Many used brass beds are appealing in their simplicity, but Luciano Frigerio, Mastercraft and Paul McCobb produced popular used brass beds that are worth a look.

Finding the Right Beds-frames for You

We find relaxation and solace in our bedrooms, which are often the most cherished rooms of a home. Your antique, new or vintage bed and bed frame are integral to this oasis of personal comfort.

Beds and bed frames have long been an important part of the sanctuary that is the bedroom. For the upper class in countries such as England, the massive, costly beds of the 16th and 17th centuries were decorative and of the poster variety. Some were characterized by large painted wooden headboards, often made of oak, that featured ornate carvings and richly colored curtains affixed to each of the two or four posts — think of today’s sumptuous upholstered headboards as a distant cousin to these luxurious furnishings. The heavy fabric curtains were drawn across a fringed canopy to close out the sunlight that might’ve warmed your grandiose and opulent bedchambers. This feature could also offer privacy as desired, because, as we all know, a bedroom is for more than just sleeping

Coiled springs didn’t make their way into mattresses until the 1800s, which likely made for a far more comfortable night’s sleep for many. Bed frames of cast iron and brass were introduced during the mid- to late-19th century. Later, the 20th century brought with it marvelous innovations for slumberland, among them daybeds from the likes of George Nelson and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich as well as convertible sofa beds.

Today, you will find a range of beds geared toward your individual personality and preferred style of decor. When shopping for a bed and bed frame, keep in mind that you’ve got options. Sizes range from twin to California king. At 76 inches wide and 80 inches long, a king-size bed is roughly 16 inches wider than a queen-size mattress, and your bed frame will likely add two to five inches to each side. (The California king bed is 84 inches long.)

From dramatic bedroom designs to uncomplicated, minimalist approaches, the bedroom has evolved into the haven that it should be: a peaceful place of respite, where we begin and end every day. Take the time to create your very own oasis — you deserve it. Rest easy with an expansive collection of antique, new and vintage beds and bed frames available on 1stDibs.

Questions About Used Brass Beds
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    In some cases, yes. Brass is a metal that was used for gun bullets. However, the metal is malleable and at the time of its discovery, weapons were already being made of stronger iron and steel. You can find a selection of brass weaponry from some of the world’s top enthusiasts on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, you can use a headboard with an adjustable bed. When purchasing a headboard for an adjustable bed, make sure that the packaging reads “compatible with an adjustable bed”.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because daybeds use normal mattresses, they are almost a type of normal bed taking on the function of a couch. Therefore they can be used as a normal bed, though the comfort level depends on the mattress quality. Designer George Nelson's iconic Nelson daybed and others are available on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Any tightly woven fabric can be used for upholstered furniture, including beds.

Shop a selection of upholstered furniture, including beds, from top sellers worldwide on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    While queen sized beds are 6 inches wider than full sized beds, you can often use a queen size headboard for a full mattress. Headboards are usually even with or a few inches wider than the bed.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    How you use a brass oil lamp may vary based on the design of the piece. However, generally, you fill the lamp with vegetable, sesame or similar plant-based oil. Use tweezers to raise and lower the wick and trim away burned ends with scissors. Then, use a match to light the lamp. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of oil lamps.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To care for an old brass bed, buff and polish it regularly using a soft, dry cloth. To remove discoloration, moisten a sponge or soft rag with lemon juice or distilled vinegar and a sprinkle of salt. Then, use the cloth to rub the metal. Find a selection of brass beds on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    The price of an antique brass bed depends on the period it belongs to. For example, if your brass bed is from the 1970s and has the least amount of ornamentation, it can cost between $300 to $500. Find antique and vintage brass beds on 1stDibs.
