The Original Bed Co is proud of it’s skills that have been developed through generations of expertise to hand craft brass beds. Unlike other brass bed frames, ours headboard and footboard and made of pure brass tubes and pure brass castings. In this modern day it is rare to find pure brass among bed manufacturers, who have moved to using electroplated brass tubes rather than pure brass all the way through. This is the main reason our brass beds are more expensive than other beds which only have a brass finish. However, we do consider this an investment and a pure brass bed should keep it's value over time.
