King Bed Design in Carved Teak - Taupe Leather and Pierced Crest

Buttoning leather is a different job from buttoning cloth, and upholsterers treat it as a separate discipline. Leather has no give across its width - it will not ease into a fold the way a woven fabric does - so the entire pattern has to be cut and marked before a single button goes in, and each fold is worked by hand into the position it will hold for the life of the piece. Get one button out of place and the surrounding folds all sit wrong.

The compensation is that leather stays exactly as it was set. A cloth headboard slackens gradually; a leather one holds its geometry for decades and improves in colour as it does.

The pierced crest above is the counterweight to all that firmness. Where the leather is taut and disciplined, the carving is open and loose, cut through so the wall shows behind it. Our master Indian artisans design that contrast deliberately - a bed that was hard-edged at both ends would feel severe, and one that was soft at both would have no structure at all.

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

Headboard: Leather buttoned panel in a wide diamond grid, tiered pierced carving above rising to a centre boss, large curled volutes at the shoulders.

Footboard: Two leather buttoned panels either side of a carved cartouche, swept carved crest across the top, heavy carved scroll uprights at both corners.

Upholstery: Shown in taupe leather; genuine leather or high-grade faux leather available in any shade, and woven fabrics if you prefer.

Finish: Warm gold-brown as shown, and available in gold, silver, antique bronze, ivory or natural teak tones.

Bedside chests: Long form with carved fronts, moulded tops and carved feet. Included as shown, available in any quantity.

Storage: Available with hydraulic lift-up storage or base drawers designed in.

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

Leather creases permanently if it is folded or pressed in transit, so the buttoned panels are packed with rigid support standing clear of their faces - nothing rests on the leather at any point - and each is bagged in a breathable cover so it can release moisture rather than sweat.

The pierced crest is foam-faced from both sides so its cut-through sections are held, and the curled shoulder volutes, which reach forward past the line of the bed, are given individual foam shells.

The footboard cartouche and carved scroll uprights are blocked the same way. Finished 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 carved feet collared. Everything is crated together with handling instructions. Every photograph on this page 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, upholstery and finish are confirmed in writing. We send leather samples for approval first, then give you a realistic timeline and photographs of your own bed as the crest is pierced 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, the leather checked over and conditioned, 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 structure carrying the pierced crest, the footboard, the side rails, the carved uprights 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.

Leather is the longest-lived upholstery we work with, but if you ever want it renewed or changed, we hold the specification of your exact bed on file - including the cut pattern and the buttoning positions, which matter far more in leather than in cloth - so a new panel sits exactly as the original did. The carved finish can be cleaned back and re-laid, and fittings replaced with parts made for your piece. Our own master Indian artisans do the work and explain what it involves before starting.
