Florence
Carefully devised architecture, precise curves, and fluidity – this more feminine bedstead creates a timeless sense of fashion.
The Florence bedstead is based on the 19th Century 3 hoop bed. This bed is very decorative and painted all in one colour (see our colour options).
Each tube is hand curved complimenting its unusual rounded frame, this bedstead makes a soft traditional design statement making it adaptable to a variety of bedroom styles. Offering a 1” outer framework, with an openwork central oval which rests comfortably in both the head and foot-end. This work of art is surrounded by stately bars and scrollwork curls an ideal finishing touch. This bedstead is a popular choice for the ladies.
Hand cast at our Cornwall foundry and made with all the traditional fixings you would expect from an authentic re-production.
The Florence can be manufactured as a bedstead, bed surround, headboard, or as a bedstead with no foot end, not suitable in a four-poster option. You can order your Florence in any of our 13 colour options or in any colour not shown starting from an extra £100. We cast our beds to exacting standards using time-honoured skills and craftsmanship.
Every bed is made individually to order, numbered, and signed off by one of our craftsmen. With The Cornish Bed Company, you can be confident that your bedstead will last lifetimes and will become an antique in the future.

“I would like to take the opportunity to say how absolutely fabulous our new bed is. As you know we spent a long time looking all over the place for both a bed and a mattress but eventually found Cornish Beds and with your help we finally chose the perfect bed for us and the perfect mattress to go with it.”
