Classic Bed Design in Carved Teak - Linen Headboard in Warm Brown

Linen is the oldest upholstery fabric there is and the least showy, and choosing it changes what a carved bed is doing in a room. Velvet reflects light and pulls attention; linen absorbs it and recedes. Put linen against carved teak and the wood becomes the thing you look at - which is the right order of priorities on a piece where the carving has been thought about this carefully.

The buttoning is set wide for the same reason. Close buttoning creates a formal, tightly geometric surface; widely spaced buttons let the fabric relax between them, and linen relaxes visibly. It is a softer effect, and it ages well because linen improves with use rather than wearing out.

The footboard panel is where our master Indian artisans put the work. It is carved in relief rather than pierced, which suits a piece meant to be quiet - relief carving reads as texture from across a room and only resolves into flowers and scrolls when you come close. That is a deliberate choice about how much attention a bed should demand.

Material: Solid teak throughout, including headboard frame, footboard, rails, feet and the bedside chests.

Headboard: Buttoned linen panel in a wide grid, moulded carved frame with a rolled top rail and a shaped carved crest above the centre.

Footboard: Curved rail rising from both sides, carved scroll and flower relief panel with a centre cartouche in a bead moulding, carved apron between turned feet.

Upholstery: Shown in oatmeal linen, and made in any fabric and colour you choose.

Finish: Warm mid-brown as shown, and available in any teak tone from pale honey to espresso.

Carving level: Can be extended across the headboard frame and bedside fronts, or reduced to a plain moulded footboard field.

Bedside chests: Three drawers each, moulded fronts, carved corner details, turned feet. Included as shown, available in any quantity.

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

Linen marks and creases more readily than a tight-woven fabric, so the headboard panel is bagged in a breathable cover and packed so nothing bears on the surface or presses into the buttoning.

The carved crest above the headboard is given a shaped foam shell, and the moulded frame edge-guarded along its length.

The footboard's relief panel is protected across its face by a rigid layer standing clear of the carving, so no pressure reaches the raised flowers. Its carved apron is supported from beneath, and the turned feet are collared individually.

Polished brown surfaces are covered in a soft non-abrasive layer first, since polish scuffs under friction. Rails are bundled, fittings pouched, and the chests packed with drawers secured and feet protected. Everything is crated together with handling instructions. Every photograph here shows the actual bed before packing - not a render.

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

Production begins once your size, fabric and finish are confirmed in writing. We give you a realistic timeline then and send photographs of your own bed as the footboard panel is carved and the polish built up.

On arrival the bed is carried in and assembled in your bedroom: headboard and footboard joined to the rails, everything levelled to your floor, the polish and upholstery checked over, and the bedside chests placed where you want them. We guarantee dent-free arrival, and if anything is not right when you see it, tell us and we will make it right.

The solid teak frame and joinery are covered for 20 years - the headboard frame, the footboard and its panel, the side rails, the turned feet and every joint between them.

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

Linen is a fabric that softens with use and eventually wants replacing, and that is straightforward here: we keep the specification of your exact bed on file, so a new panel is cut to the same shaped line and buttoned to the same grid. You can change to a different material entirely at that point. The wood can be sanded back and re-polished in the same brown or a different tone, and fittings replaced with parts made for your piece. Our own master Indian artisans do the work and explain it before starting.
