What era are iron beds from?
1 Answer
The earliest iron beds trace back to 17th-century Italy, where infestations of bed bugs and moths led crafters to produce handmade metal furniture for bedrooms. In the late 1800s, the beds came into fashion again because many people thought they were simpler to clean. You'll find a variety of antique iron beds on 1stDibs.
