Beautiful hand finished, replacement brass bedknobs, suitable for British & French antique beds.

These have been custom made exclusively for The French Bed Company, with a thread we have tested on a variety of antique beds.

  • This brass bedknob is custom made to our specifications to best fit antique beds with a 9mm diameter thread.
  • They have a pleasingly solid, robust feel, with the weight and quality you would expect from a traditional brass bedknob. It weighs 435g.
  • We stock two different size bedknobs, this is the larger at 3″ diameter and 100mm tall.
  • We generally see this size brass bedknob on British antique beds.
  • View our video below to see this bedknob being fitted to the cream antique British bed.

 

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure your thread is clean.
    • Rusty or painted threads may prevent the bedknob fitting to the thread. Even a small amount of detritus can prevent the thread from turning.
    • Clean threads with wire wool.

Bedknob Troubleshooting

 

    • Check out the video below – the thin layer of paint stops the thread turning. The clean thread turns easily. The painted end will only turn once.
  • If your thread is not quite a match, but the bedknob will turn enough to hold, consider reducing the height of your thread.
  • As a new product the colour is likely to be different to your exisiting decoration.
    • Either polish your brass bed or age the new brass.
  • The colour of brass always changes over time.
