Calais Metal Bedstead

The Calais is typical of simple nineteenth century cast iron design for single bedsteads and represents a true successor to beds of that era when functionality was quite literally, the primary consideration.

But why is it that some of the simplest bedstead styling from those days are often the most elegant?

Maybe it is simply that the purity and honesty of style imparted a character that exuded a quiet integrity not found with those more extrovert and ornate counterparts.

And so it is with The Calais as it displays a restrained personality with simple lines and lovely casting details that impart a charmingly captivating quality making it an obvious choice to offer as a single bedstead size option.

Absolutely perfect for a guest room or as an enchanting childrens bed within any decorative theme.
