Your bed was probably originally painted or lacquered with a gloss finish. It sounds like age and humidity ahve done a number on the original finsh. Best treatment is to strip clean any rust, prime and paint with a good enamel or have it sprayed with gloss lacquer. The brass parts should be cleaned and polished then coated with paste wax to retard corosion.
