Simplicity with Soul

Our Bird on a Wire iron canopy bed combines clean, architectural lines with the charm of nature-inspired detail, creating a design that is both sophisticated and playful. Hand-forged in our Arkansas forge, this striking bed features slender canopy posts and a minimalist frame accented by three-dimensional iron birds perched in perfect balance.

Each bed is custom-made by skilled blacksmiths who carry forward centuries-old techniques of traditional ironwork. Every hammer mark is a testament to the artisan’s hand, making no two pieces exactly alike. Unlike mass-produced furniture, this is a true work of functional art... built to last for generations while capturing the subtle elegance of handcrafted design. The thick, performance-upholstered headboard invites you to relax in style, featuring Crypton performance fabric that resists stains and maintains its beauty for years to come.

The Bird on a Wire canopy bed is more than a place to rest... it’s a statement piece that brings quiet sophistication and artisanal charm into your home. Love this bed, but without the birds? Our Corinth Bed is what you're looking for!

Q&A

I love this bed! Does it sway or squeak? Most canopy beds seem unstable.
Greetings Kim, Thanks so much, I’m glad you love the the bed and great question! Our beds are built with solid, hand‑forged iron and so they’re designed to be extremely sturdy. When everything is tightened properly, there should be very little sway.That said, it is normal for any canopy bed — even very high‑quality ones — to have a slight amount of movement simply because the structure carries weight at the top. With tall vertical posts and a frame overhead, a small sway of around inch at the top is expected when shaken by hand and doesn’t affect stability or longevity. I hope this helps!
Can I use an adjustable base, so my head and feet can raise and lower, with this bed?
Greetings Amy, Great question! Most adjustable bases will need a customized bed frame to ensure a proper fit. If you have a specific base in mind, we’d be happy to talk through the details and see what adjustments might be needed. Give us a call at 1-800-380-4766 and we would be delighted to discuss.
can we substitute a wooden headboard for the upholstered one?
Greetings Martin, Absolutely, we would be delighted to customize a Bird on The Wire bed for you. We will reach out to you via email for more details and you can visit our custom page at https://urbanforge.com/pages/custom-furniture for more details.
