Brown Velvet Bed in Carved Teak - Gold Frame with Oval Mirrors

Mirrors flanking a bed do something no lamp can. A bedroom is lit at night from two or three low points, and most of that light is absorbed by walls, bedding and a dark headboard. A pair of mirrors set at eye level above the bedsides catches it and throws it back across the room, so the same lamps produce a noticeably brighter space. It is the oldest lighting trick in interior design and it predates electricity by centuries.

Oval is the right shape for it here. A rectangular mirror at that position repeats the lines of the bedside chest beneath it and the wall around it; an oval breaks them, and it echoes the arch of the headboard rather than arguing with it.

Our master Indian artisans carve the mirror frames from the same drawing as the bed's shoulders, so the scroll that turns at the top of a mirror is the scroll that turns at the top of the headboard. That is only possible when the pieces are made together - which is the practical argument for buying a room rather than assembling one.

Material: Solid teak throughout, including headboard, footboard, rails, bedside chests and mirror frames.

Headboard: Broad shaped arch, buttoned velvet panel with crystal studs, carved boss at the peak, pierced scroll and leaf spreading to curled shoulder volutes.

Footboard: Buttoned velvet panel curving to a carved centre shell, pierced carved apron across the base rail, carved scroll feet.

Upholstery: Shown in mocha velvet, and made in any fabric and colour you choose.

Finish: Brushed champagne gold as shown, and available in bright gold, silver, antique bronze, ivory or natural teak tones.

Bedside chests: Two drawers each on carved legs. Included as shown, available in any quantity.

Mirrors: Two carved oval wall mirrors, sized to your wall and chest height; one, two or a single larger mirror available.

Sizes: Custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

Velvet and mirror glass are the two most vulnerable things in this set and they are packed to different rules.

The velvet panels are bagged in breathable covers and packed so all pressure lands on the carved frame, never on the pile - velvet crushes permanently if something rests on it in transit.

Each mirror travels in its own rigid crate: glass faced with foam board, frame edge-guarded around the full oval, and the crate marked fragile and this-way-up.

The pierced scrollwork above the headboard and the pierced apron below the footboard are foam-faced from both sides. Carved shoulder volutes, the centre shell and the scroll feet are collared individually. Champagne-finished surfaces are covered in a soft non-abrasive layer first. Everything is crated together with handling instructions. Every photograph on this page shows the actual furniture before packing - not a render.

Delivery is free anywhere in India and included in the price you are quoted for the set, with no freight, packing or handling charge added later.

Production begins once your sizes, fabric and finish are confirmed in writing. We give you a realistic timeline then and send photographs of your own furniture as the carving is cut, the champagne finish laid and the velvet upholstered.

On arrival everything is carried in and set up: the bed assembled and levelled, the chests placed, and the mirrors mounted on your wall at the right height above them and aligned with each other. Wall mounting is included - tell us your wall type when you order so the right fixings come with the team. We guarantee dent-free arrival, and if anything is not right, tell us and we will make it right.

The solid teak frame and joinery are covered for 20 years across the set - the headboard structure, the footboard, the side rails, the carved feet, the chest carcasses and the mirror frames.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs with it for as long as you own the furniture, backed by teak's own resistance and confirmed in writing.

Mirror glass is the one element that can be damaged by accident rather than by wear, and it is replaceable: tell us and we cut new glass to your exact frame from the dimensions we hold on file. The same record lets us re-cover the velvet panels to the original buttoning grid, refresh the champagne finish and supply fittings made for your piece. Our own master Indian artisans do the work and explain what it involves before starting.
