Antique beds are beautiful, functional, and represent a tasteful connection to the past. They can almost guarantee the most comfortable sleep in the right setting. That’s why we stock so many of them at Fireside Antiques.
Unparalleled Comfort and Quality
In centuries past, artisans made beds of straw, leaves, or even animal skins placed directly on the ground. These beds may not have been comfortable, but people living during those times had no alternatives.
Later, crafters raised these beds to avoid contact with dirt, pests, and drafts. At this point, the materials used for beds changed from flimsy materials to sturdier ones like stone, wood, and metal.
Over time, pallets started featuring intricate designs. Ancient civilizations reported having decorated their bed furniture with applications of metal, pearl, and ivory.
