Wrought iron headboards — hand-forged, powder-coated and built to ship.
Solid-bar iron headboards in scroll, spindle and flat-bar designs, forged in our Jodhpur metal cluster and finished in durable powder coat — built to any bed standard, flat-pack-ready and consolidated into one container with the rest of your bedroom range.
A slim, timeless panel — forged by hand, finished to outlast the mattress beneath it.
Jodhpur is as well known for hand-forged iron as it is for solid wood, and the wrought iron headboard is where that craft shows best. Each piece is bent, welded and ground from heavy-gauge solid bar — not hollow tube — so it holds its line for decades without racking or loosening. A powder-coated iron headboard reads light in a room yet anchors a bed visually, which is why it sells across heritage, industrial, farmhouse, coastal and modern ranges alike. Because the open design uses little material and nests flat, it is also one of the most freight-efficient headboards you can load.
From ornate scrollwork to clean flat-bar minimalism.
Produced as our own catalogue designs (ODM) or forged to your drawings and private-label brief (OEM), with CNC-assisted jigs keeping every unit in a run identical across the container.

Audited on every shipment
Our forging and powder-coating are covered by ISO quality management, SGS third-party inspection and SEDEX / SMETA ethical audit, so build quality, weld integrity and coating adhesion are verified before a container loads. Where a design adds a solid-wood crossbar or cap, that timber carries FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh legality with CITES-compliant handling of sheesham, is EUDR-ready with geolocation, supports US Lacey Act declarations and UK Timber Regulation, uses CARB / TSCA-compliant finishes, and ships in ISPM-15 heat-treated packaging.
See all certifications & complianceCare your customers can rely on
A powder-coated wrought iron headboard needs little more than dusting with a dry or lightly damp cloth; the cured coating resists everyday moisture and chipping, and hinges or bolted joints simply want an occasional check. Keep the piece out of standing damp, and touch-up any deep scratch with matching powder-coat paint to prevent surface rust. We supply care guidance with every order so your end customers protect the finish — and your reviews.
Match it with a wrought iron bedWrought iron headboard sourcing, answered.
What is a wrought iron headboard?
It is a headboard built entirely from hand-forged solid iron bar — scrollwork, spindles or a clean flat-bar grid — rather than a wood or upholstered panel. The metal is welded, ground smooth, then powder-coated for a durable, chip-resistant finish. It gives a slim, airy profile that suits heritage, industrial, farmhouse and modern bedrooms, and it mounts to the wall, stands on floor legs, or bolts directly to a standard bed frame.
What finishes and colours do you offer on wrought iron headboards?
The standard finish is oven-cured powder coat, which is far tougher than wet paint — matte or satin black, antique bronze, pewter, gunmetal, white and custom RAL colours to match your range. We also offer hand-applied antique and distressed metal finishes for a heritage look. Every finish is specified and sampled on your order before production.
What bed sizes and fixings do you make wrought iron headboards for?
We build to any market's bed standard — US Twin, Full/Double, Queen, King and California King, plus UK and European sizes and fully custom widths and heights to your drawing. Each headboard ships as freestanding on floor legs, wall-mounted, or drilled to bolt onto a standard bed-frame bracket, confirmed on your order.
Do wrought iron headboards ship flat-packed?
Yes. The panel, legs and fixing hardware separate and nest flat with bolt-through connectors, which cuts freight volume and transit breakage and lifts container density — ideal for large importers and online sellers. We supply carton, retail-ready and Amazon-FBA-ready packaging, with assembled builds available where a design requires it.
What is your minimum order for wrought iron headboards?
A sample or trial headboard can ship LCL (part-container) so you approve the forging, finish and colour first. For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we consolidate headboards with wrought iron beds, nightstands and the rest of your bedroom range into one mixed container.
Will the iron rust, and are these headboards compliant for US and EU import?
Powder coat seals the metal against everyday moisture, so an indoor wrought iron headboard resists rust with simple dusting. On compliance, the metalwork is covered by ISO quality management, SGS third-party inspection and SEDEX / SMETA social audit; where a design adds a solid-wood crossbar or accent, that timber carries FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh legality and EUDR-ready due diligence, and export cartons are packed to ISPM-15.
