Ivory Upholstered King Size Bed - Carved Teak with Pearl Tufted Headboard

The Cameo at the Foot of the Bed

The oval medallion on the footboard is the one place on this bed where the design stops being tonal and asks for attention. It is carved separately from the frame, in solid teak, then set into the upholstered panel like a cameo brooch pinned to fabric, with scrolled foliage worked outward from its edge to blend the join. Mounting carving into upholstery rather than beside it is fiddly: the panel has to be built with a rigid backing exactly where the medallion sits, the fabric has to be dressed tight to the carved edge with no gap or pucker, and any error shows because there is nothing else on that surface to distract from it.

The restraint elsewhere is what makes it work. Tufting the footboard as well would have given the eye two competing textures and the medallion would have vanished into them. Highlighting the carving in gold would have pulled attention to the frame instead. By keeping everything in ivory and pale silver and leaving the footboard smooth, the one carved element on that panel becomes the thing you actually look at. Master Indian artisans carve, finish and upholster each of these by hand, so the medallion differs slightly from bed to bed, and the images here are of the real piece rather than a rendering.

Protecting a Pale Upholstered Bed in Transit

Ivory is the least forgiving colour we ship. A mark that would be invisible on walnut or on blue shows immediately on a pale upholstered panel, and it cannot be wiped off if it has been ground in over a long road journey. So the packing is built specifically to keep anything abrasive or coloured away from the surfaces. Upholstered panels are covered in a clean breathable soft-face layer laid directly against the fabric, never a printed or dyed material that can transfer, then padded with foam above it. No strap is run across the buttoned area, since pressure over buttoning leaves lasting indentations.

The carved oval medallion, which projects from the footboard panel, is protected separately by foam cut around its profile so it bears no load at all. The painted teak sections get non-abrasive wrapping and rigid edge guards at every corner, scroll and foot. The whole assembly is crated and strapped, and the two bedside chests are boxed apart with their drawers secured. Multi-layer packing of this kind costs us real money on every order and we carry it, because on an ivory bed there is no such thing as a small mark. Dent-free, scratch-free and clean on arrival, or we make it right.

Delivery Anywhere in India, Included

There is no delivery charge on this bed anywhere in India, and no surcharge for distance. What takes time is the build. The bed does not exist in stock: the teak has to be carved, the frame primed and finished through the ivory and silver stages, the medallion cut and mounted, and the panels upholstered and buttoned. Because ivory finishing is done in several thin coats rather than one heavy one, this piece is not among our fastest. We give you an honest completion window when your specification is confirmed, and if you are working to a fixed date we will tell you at enquiry whether it can be met.

The finished bed dispatches in its protective packing under a dent-free arrival guarantee. We confirm when it leaves and keep you updated in transit. Our team assembles it in the bedroom and we ask that you check the ivory finish, the buttoning and the medallion with them present rather than after they have gone, so anything you are unhappy with is dealt with on the spot. If your stairwell, lift or doorway is tight, mention it at enquiry so the frame can be engineered to knock down into sections that will pass through.

Warranty Terms for This Ivory Carved Bed

The solid teak frame and joinery are guaranteed for 20 years from delivery, and termite damage is covered for the entire life of the bed with no expiry date. We split it that way because those are the two things that genuinely end a wooden bed. A frame either holds under twenty years of daily load or it does not, and that comes down to the timber and the joints, both of which are ours. Termites are a timber risk rather than a construction risk, and teak's natural oils resist them, so we are willing to carry that one indefinitely rather than hide behind a short window.

The ivory finish, the upholstery, the foam and the pearl buttons are handled outside the structural warranty. A pale upholstered bed will mark with use, and an ivory painted surface will pick up contact marks at the corners over years. Neither is a manufacturing fault and we will not pretend otherwise. What we will do is reupholster or refinish the piece at any point in its life, quoted plainly, and recut the oval medallion or any single carved element without replacing the whole bed, because we made it in the first place. Keep it indoors, away from sustained direct sun, and do not modify the frame.
