Dedicated to preserving Antique Brass Beds ....

Almost 100 years have passed since the last of the true antique brass and iron beds were made by the original bed artisans. Can you begin to imagine what it was like to have such a choice and to make your own special requests? How often do you read or scan antique books and magazines, taking extra time to ponder over the beautiful bedroom furniture? Do you flip through copies of the original mail order catalogues and wish you were born 100 years ago. You are not alone.

Many of our Timeless Antiques clients have told us that they ended up choosing modern reproductions either because they do not have the time to search the antiques shops, bazaar’s and markets or when they do find them, there is only one – leaving them to make “a take it or leave it” decision .  As it was then so it can be now.   This is exactly what led a boys’ hobby to our specialised Antique Brass Bed business – Timeless Antiques.

This interest started when a 13 year old boy found an old bed and his grandfather taught him how to polish brass.  That was 30 years ago and neither he nor his grandfather would have dreamed it would lead onto a Brass Bed Collection of approximately 16 tonnes of original brass and iron beds including spare parts. History continues to be the most important part of our brass bed restorations and that not only includes dating beds but also where possible passing on the beds own personal family history.

One of the little extras Timeless Antiques aims for when it is finally purchased, restored and delivered to its new owners.   Some antique beds having extremely interesting stories to go with them, one that comes to mind is the brass bed end used as a “poddy calf” feeder.  We are certain that the original brass bed artisan would never have guessed this extra usage when he made and designed his beautiful brass bed.
