Antique french iron bed (single) with rusty, flaky white paint
Please help! I really really want to find 2 single antique french beds, preferably old so the white paint is a bit flaky / rusty - but I can't afford to pay giant prices :-)
I need two matching ones, so ebay's not a great option.
Does anyone know anywhere that does them - I think orginal ones are Victorian onwards, but am not bothered as long as the "look" is right.
Some examples below:

If anyone knows of a high st shop selling something similar, I'd be really grateful, as at least then it solves the matching issue.
Plus I guess with 2 small kids, the flaking paint effect will happen naturally over time ;-) haha!

Just a thought, Milly, if you do have to buy new, perhaps you could use a crackle paint finish to "antique" it a bit http://www.plasti-kote.co.uk/Product/pcode---4085/pccode---3620
