CARE FOR YOUR GILDED WOODEN BED

Gilded qualities
Each piece of gold or silver leaf is individually applied to our beds by hand. This can create a chequerboard effect as each sheet of gold or silver is approximately 15 – 20cms square. Once finished, the gilding is then expertly distressed to further enhance the aged appearance, thereby giving each piece its own character and charm. However, the gold and silver is inherently delicate and knocks or abrasions may cause small pieces of leaf to flake off.

Cleaning your gilded bed
To clean your gilded wooden bed, we recommend that you simply dust it with a clean cloth.

Moving the bed
The mattress and base are both supported on the bed. So do not move the bed without first removing the mattress and base system. Do not pull or push the bed from the head or foot end only, as this may cause serious damage. Instead, with one person on either side of the bed, hold the frame at the midway point, and carefully lift or slide the bed into position
