For over forty years, Cathouse owner Craig Spencer has devoted himself to preserving and curating authentic 19th-century iron beds. What began during his time at George Washington University—scouring Pennsylvania for antiques—grew into a lifelong specialty that now forms the largest collection of antique iron beds in the United States. His move to Los Angeles in 1975, inspired by a moment overlooking the Pacific from Pacific Coast Highway, soon connected him with the entertainment world, where his beds have appeared in countless films, television productions, and advertising campaigns.
After more than three decades as a beloved brick-and-mortar destination, Cathouse Antique Iron Beds now operates exclusively online, serving designers and individual clients alike, and sharing its unparalleled collection with customers around the globe..
For more than thirty years of “brick and mortar” stores in the Los Angeles area, Cathouse Antique Iron Beds is now a strictly “on-line” business, with customers around the globe.
