Iron King Canopy Bed

If you want to try something really unique why not look around for an iron famed king sized canopy bed? Wrought iron frames have a really European feel about them. They still have a stately feel to them as you would expect but it's a style that seems more reminiscent of somewhere like Italy. I recently saw a beautiful example, of this type of bed, which was from Tuscany. It had some really elegant curves to it and a very delicate quality to it.

The iron frame either was rusting from old age or had been distressed to look like it was old. Either way that muddy brown coloring that you get when iron has oxidised and started to turn the metal brown, was a really attractive feature of the bed. Also as the frame was made with rounded thin iron it looked really stylish and not too overbearing which can sometimes be a criticism of and enormously grand wooden four poster bed.
