Painting beds Gold was no accident by their manufacturers.
Why was that ???? …..Gold guild paint allowed iron beds to imitate the look of the more expensive brass bed market. Brass beds were highly desirable but also much more costly.
Gold gilt paint added a touch of elegance and luxury to the antique iron beds. It enhanced the overall appearance of the iron bed frames, giving them a more regal and ornate look. The gold color added a sense of opulence and sophistication, making the beds stand out as statement pieces in the bedroom.
Gold guild paint allowed iron beds to imitate the look of more expensive materials, such as brass or gold-plated metal. Brass beds were highly desirable but also more costly.

Gold guild paint has a long history of use in decorative arts and furniture. It has been used for centuries to highlight intricate details, carvings, and moldings. By applying gold guild paint to iron beds, manufacturers were able to create a sense of nostalgia and evoke the craftsmanship of bygone eras.
