My name is Elena and I started the company over 20 years ago.
My aim is to save antique furniture from landfill. To breath life into antique beds with our range of new slatted beds bases and spares.
Our Story
As a business graduate I always aspired to build a business of my own. I wanted to make independant business decisions and bring my own creative ideas to life.
While renovating a cottage in South West France with my husband, amid the pressures of work in the UK, this idea became a reality in 2004. It marked the beginning of my journey into the world of antique French beds.
Since then, I have built up hands-on experience buying, selling and restoring antique French beds. Having undertaken countless bed renovations, including repairs, sourcing antique components and fitting bed bases to a variety of antique and vintage beds, I have developed an understanding of their construction and practical requirements.
This experience enables me to offer advice and has helped me develop and source a range of bed bases and spare parts for antique beds. It is a pleasure to help others preserve and enjoy these beautiful pieces for years to come.
What We Do
We offer a selection of antique French beds for sale, with a wider collection awaiting refurbishment.
We offer a small selection of French Interiors, beautiful pieces we discovered on our travels around France that we couldn’t leave behind. You can find them for sale on ebay as well as here on our website.
Our extensive range of slatted bed bases is designed to accommodate most antique bed sizes and frames. Our adjustable bases are available for standard length beds, as well as shorter 185cm frames and longer 195cm frames, suitable for king-size beds. Each base can be adjusted in width to fit the unusual dimensions often found in antique beds.
Our adjustable bed bases are ideal for bespoke beds and those installed in alternative living spaces, such as boats and campervans, where flexibility and making the most of available space are essential.
We’re continually developing our range of specialist spare parts for antique beds.
From bed bolts for antique French beds to replacement brass bed knobs and those ever-elusive brass balls that seem to go missing, we aim to provide practical solutions for the little things that make all the difference.
Why Choose Us?
Our antique and vintage pieces have been sourced in France, from village brocantes to antique shops, barns to beautiful chateaux. They are lovingly restored for sale.
We are so lucky to have spent so much time driving through the French countryside in the early morning mist, and wandering through the fascinating array of wonderful and often wierd wares for sale at the street markets.
Our new products are commissioned with carefully selected manufacturers from the UK, Europe and Asia. We focus on quality, craftsmanship and affordability with the companies we work with.

Customer Testimonial
Hi Elena, Just wanted to say a huge thanks for all your help with the slats. Here’s a photo of the bed back together. Thanks ever so much. We wouldn’t have been able to re-use my grandma’s bed without the slats so we’re over the moon.
