Luxury Bed Design in Carved Teak - Antique Bronze with Tufted Panels

Furniture that borrows from buildings is an old habit. Pilasters, capitals, pedestals, urns and finials all began as architecture, and cabinetmakers took them because they solved a problem: how to make something tall look deliberate rather than merely big. Break the height into stages and the eye climbs it comfortably; leave it as one plane and it reads as a wall.

That is what is happening on this headboard. Every step outward and downward from the centre is a stage, and each one is carved to a slightly different scale so the composition tapers rather than stacking.

Symmetry is the discipline that makes it work, and it is unforgiving. A scroll on the left has to mirror a scroll on the right within a hair, or the whole design looks like it is leaning. Our master Indian artisans carve matching elements as pairs, side by side, moving between them rather than finishing one and then starting the other - the only reliable way to keep two hand-cut forms honest to each other.

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

Headboard: Stepped architectural composition with central carved urn and finial on a pedestal, flanking carved pilasters with capitals and finials, scroll and leaf carving at every stage, buttoned upholstered panels set into the lower half.

Footboard: Three buttoned sections beneath a carved floral and acanthus swag with a central rosette, heavy carved corner volutes.

Upholstery: Buttoned panels made in the fabric and colour of your choice.

Finish: Shown in antique bronze with paler metallic highlighting on the relief, and available in gold, silver, ivory or natural teak tones.

Bedside chests: Carved panelled fronts, moulded tops, carved cabriole 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.

Finials and urns stand higher than anything else on this bed, so they are packed first and separately: each is given a shaped foam shell that surrounds it without touching the turned tip, and then supported so nothing above it can bear down.

The stepped sections of the headboard are foam-blocked stage by stage, since a stepped profile has no single flat face to pack against. The metallic finish is covered in a soft non-abrasive layer before any firm packing, because highlighted relief marks most easily on its raised edges.

Buttoned panels are bagged in breathable covers. The footboard swag, which stands proud across the full width, is foam-faced along its length and its corner volutes collared individually. Side rails are bundled and edge-guarded, fittings sealed into a labelled pouch.

The chests travel with drawers secured and cabriole feet blocked. Everything is crated together with handling instructions. The photographs on this page show the actual bed before packing - real furniture, not a render.

Delivery is free across India and included in the price quoted, with nothing for freight, packing or handling added afterwards.

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 headboard is carved stage by stage and the finish built up.

On arrival the bed is carried in and assembled in your bedroom, with the headboard raised and joined to the rails, the footboard fitted, everything levelled to your floor and the bedside chests placed where you want them. Because the headboard is tall, tell us your ceiling height and access when you order so we can plan the assembly. We guarantee dent-free arrival, and if anything is not right, tell us and we will make it right.

Twenty years of warranty cover the solid teak frame and joinery: the stepped headboard structure, the footboard, the side rails and every joint between them. A headboard built in stages has more joints than a flat one, and each of them is cut and fitted to carry the section above it - which is precisely what this warranty stands behind.

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

The antique bronze finish can be cleaned back and re-laid years from now if you want it refreshed or changed to a different tone, and the buttoned panels can be re-covered to the original grid. We hold the specification of your exact bed on file so everything made later fits it properly, and our own master Indian artisans carry out the work, telling you what it involves and how long it takes beforehand.
