Beds

Throughout history, the bed has held a special place of significance for those fortunate enough to have their own homes. In ancient times, it stood as the most valuable possession one could own. As an illustration of its worth, consider England in the sixteenth century when the average cost of a bed was £5, an amount equivalent to half a year’s salary for a teacher. At that time, owning a bed was considered a symbol of luxury, and it was often placed in the parlour for all to admire.

In contrast to the past, today’s beds are primarily found in bedrooms. The qualities we seek in a good bed have evolved: foremost, it must provide comfort, and secondly, it should contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the room. AntiqueBrokers antiques centre offers a range of beds that meet both of these modern criteria. They offer everything from narrow single beds to broad, stately king-size frames. These pieces of furniture can seamlessly blend into various home interiors, whether historical or eclectic, serving as the focal point of the room.

What sets antique beds apart is their construction from solid wood, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity. Investing in an antique bed means you won’t need to replace it for many years, making it a wise and lasting choice for your home.
