Leather Bed in Solid Teak - King Size with Tan Buttoned Headboard

Leather and Polished Teak, Not Leather and Paint

Upholstered beds are usually built as a fabric object with a wooden skeleton hidden inside. This one is built the other way round. The teak is finished to be seen, in a mahogany polish that keeps the grain legible across the footboard panel, the posts and the drawer fronts, and the leather is introduced only where a body actually rests against the bed. That decision drives everything else. The carved crest cannot rely on gold to define it, so it is cut with strong undercuts that hold shadow. The footboard panel is book-matched, meaning two leaves of teak are opened like a book so the figure mirrors across the centre line, which is a detail that only matters if you intend the wood to be looked at.

The buttoning is done after the frame is finished, not before. An upholsterer works the tan hide into the carved recess and pulls each button through by hand, adjusting the fold at every point so the diamonds stay even as the panel curves. Leather cannot be stretched and re-stretched the way fabric can; a misplaced button leaves a permanent mark. It is slower and less forgiving than fabric work, and it is the reason this design is made by hand by master Indian artisans rather than assembled from parts.

Shipping Polished Wood and Leather Without Marks

A polished teak surface and a tan leather panel fail in opposite ways during transit. Polish shows scuffs and scratches from anything abrasive; leather shows pressure marks from anything that presses into it for days at a time. So the two are wrapped differently. Polished components go into a soft non-abrasive face wrap that will not micro-scratch the finish, then a foam layer, then edge protection at every corner, scroll and foot. The leather headboard is packed face-out against a padded surface with no strapping across the buttoned area, because a strap tightened over buttoning for a long road journey leaves indentations that take weeks to relax out, if they relax at all.

Everything then goes into a rigid strapped outer crate, and the two bedside chests are boxed separately with drawers immobilised so they cannot slide and mark the polish from inside. This is deliberately more packaging than the trade standard, and it is a real per-order cost we carry rather than pass on. The commitment behind it is plain: the bed arrives with the polish unmarked, the leather unmarked and the carving intact, or we put it right.

Free Delivery in India on This Made-to-Order Bed

We deliver free anywhere in India and we do not charge by distance. No freight line appears on your invoice. What you do need to plan for is production time, because this bed is made after you order it, not before. Teak is selected for the book-matched footboard panel, the crest is carved, the frame is polished through several stages, and only then is the leather cut and buttoned. We give you a completion window once the specification is agreed, and if the date you have in mind is not achievable we will tell you at enquiry rather than after you have paid.

The finished bed travels in multi-layer protective packing with our dent-free arrival guarantee. You are informed when it dispatches and updated while it is in transit. Our team assembles it in the room, and we ask that you check the polish, the leather and the buttoning with them present, so any concern is settled immediately. If the route to your bedroom involves a narrow staircase, a compact lift or a tight landing, tell us when you enquire and the frame will be built to knock down into sections that will pass through.

Warranty Cover on This Leather and Teak Bed

Brown Rabbit warrants the solid teak frame and its joinery for 20 years, and covers the piece against termite damage for as long as it exists. Those two cover the structural life of a wooden bed. Everything that holds this bed up is teak, including the sections you cannot see behind the leather, and the joints are cut to hold under daily load for decades rather than for a warranty period. The termite cover has no expiry because teak's natural oil resistance does not expire either; treating and seasoning every board before carving is what lets us stand behind that without a time limit.

Leather is treated separately, and honestly. Good leather does not fail, it ages, and a tan hide will darken and develop character where it is used most. That is not a defect and we will not describe it as one. Genuine issues such as a seam opening or a button pulling through are ours to fix. Wear, patina and colour change are not covered, because they are what leather does. We reupholster and re-polish our own beds at any point in their life, quoted openly. Keep the bed indoors and out of direct sun, condition the leather occasionally, and do not modify the frame yourself.
