6" Bed Bolts secure antique rope beds. Tendon end of bed rail slips into mortise-cut in bed post. Once in place, bed bolt draws wood bed poss and bed rail tightly together. Our bed bolts are made of strong steel. Once in place they create a strong rigid joint.
Rope beds were used from Colonial times to the mid 1800's. Beds were roped on short wooden pegs which line the head, foot, and side rails. A feather tick, the forerunner of the mattress, was laid on the roping.
Bed Bolts secure bedpost to rails. Insert bed bolts through bed-post into bed-rail and tighten with bed bolt wrench. Use a oval or round bed bed bolt covers to conceal bed bolts. Today these beds are adapted with spring supports to hold modern spring and mattresses.

I have an antique bed that I lost the bolts to in my recent move. The originals were hand- forged; after an hour at the hardware store, we couldn't find one with the right spacing on the screw part. My friend googled bed bolts & found this site. Although the bolts aren't an exact match, they worked!
