Grey Bed Design in Carved Teak - Walnut Frame with Tufted Panels

The bun foot is one of those details that looks like styling and is actually engineering. A turned ball, slightly flattened, spreads the load of a bed corner over a wider footprint than a tapered leg does, and it puts the bearing point directly under the joint rather than out at the end of a slender shaft. On a heavy carved bed that matters: bun feet are why the frame sits solid on an uneven floor instead of rocking.

They also change the proportion. A bed on tall legs looks lighter and reads as furniture standing in a room; a bed on bun feet sits low and reads as something settled into it. Given how much visual weight a carved headboard carries, sitting the frame low is what keeps the whole piece balanced.

Our master Indian artisans turn each foot individually and then carve the collar above it by hand, which is why the four match without being identical - and why they can be made taller or shorter to suit the mattress height you are working with.

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

Headboard: Tall buttoned panel in a diamond grid with a shaped double-curve top, slim carved frame, foliate centre crest, carved shoulder scrolls reaching towards the mattress line.

Footboard: Buttoned panel curving to a carved centre crest, moulded border with carved scroll ends, carved apron below.

Feet: Turned bun feet at all four corners with hand-carved collars; height adjustable to your mattress.

Upholstery: Shown in soft warm grey, and made in any fabric and colour you choose.

Finish: Mid walnut with no gilding as shown, and available in honey teak, mid brown, espresso or ivory.

Bedside chests: Two drawers each, carved swag detail, shaped aprons, cabriole legs. Included as shown, available in any quantity.

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

Pale grey upholstery shows marks, so both panels are bagged in clean breathable covers first and packed with rigid support standing clear of the fabric.

The slim carved frame is the most breakable element - thin continuous carving snaps if it is unsupported - so it is foam-faced along its full length, and the foliate crest and the long shoulder scrolls are given individual foam shells.

Bun feet are turned and rounded with no flat face to pack against, so each is collared in shaped foam that follows its curve.

Polished walnut surfaces are covered in a soft non-abrasive layer first. Rails are bundled and edge-guarded, fittings sealed in a labelled pouch, and the chests packed with drawers secured and cabriole legs 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 frame is carved, the walnut polish built up and the panels upholstered.

On arrival the bed is carried in and assembled in your bedroom: headboard and footboard joined to the rails, everything levelled to your floor - bun feet sit solidly on uneven floors, but we still check it - 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, the side rails, the bun feet and every joint between them. Bun feet carry the bed's weight directly under the corner joints, which is the strongest arrangement available, and it is built and guaranteed as such.

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.

A neutral bed tends to stay in a family longer than a strongly coloured one, so renewal matters here. The panels can be re-covered to the original shaped line and buttoning grid - in grey again or in any colour - and the walnut can be sanded back and re-polished lighter or darker as the room changes. We keep the specification of your exact bed on file so everything fits. Our own master Indian artisans do the work and explain it beforehand.
