Cast knuckle fixing

All our brass beds, Victorian beds and Victorian bedsteads are made with the cast knuckle fixings used on original Victorian beds.

Hand cast and pored using traditional gravity casting techniques The fixings are sown here the fixings slip in to place and lock (we suggest the fixings are given and initial hit with a rubber mallet to get them locked together. Once in place the bed will not rock or squeak and will continue to get more and more solid as the weight of occupants locks the fixings together.

This is the same fixing used on original Victorian brass beds and brass iron beds and these remain as secure as the day they are made. When an old bed is restored these fixings do not get restored just a new coat of paint because they will be solid as the day they were cast. Our beds will be antiques in the future.
