Royal Luxury Handcrafted Carved Teak Bed | Blue Damask and Silver Headboard Design

The story of damask

Damask takes its name from Damascus, the trading city through which the technique reached the Mediterranean, though the weave itself came out of China. The pattern is not printed or embroidered; it is created by the weave alone, with the warp and weft alternating dominance so the motif appears as a change in the way light reflects off the cloth. Turn a damask panel in the light and the pattern reverses.

That reflective quality is why damask has been a furnishing fabric for a thousand years and why it belongs next to a metallic finish. Both surfaces work by reflection rather than by colour, so a silver-finished frame and a damask panel behave the same way as the light in the room changes through the day.

Indian workshops know the fabric intimately through brocade and jamawar traditions where woven motifs on a shifting ground are standard, not exotic. Our artisans set the buttoning on this headboard by working out from the centre of the motif rather than from the centre of the panel, which is a small distinction that decides whether the pattern looks placed or looks cut. Handcrafted Indian luxury is full of decisions like this one.

Dimensions and weight are not published because each bed is built to the buyer's mattress and room. Send your mattress measurements and available wall width and we will confirm the finished footprint in writing before production.

Packaging

The tassel trim across the footboard sets the packing method here. Trim that hangs free tangles and crushes if it is wrapped tightly, so it is laid flat, covered with tissue and then bridged with foam so nothing presses it against the panel. A crushed tassel fringe does not recover its drape.

The damask panels are covered in a breathable non-woven cloth with foam laid over the buttons so the tufting is never compressed. The antique silver carving is wrapped separately in foam sheeting, thickened at the headboard crest, the scroll wings, the footboard shell and the cabriole knees, with no adhesive tape touching any finished or upholstered surface.

The bed and chests travel in wooden crates built for these pieces with internal bracing, drawers secured shut and drawer fronts individually padded. Hardware is bagged, labelled by component and fixed inside the main crate. Crate dimensions can be confirmed before dispatch if your access is restricted.

Shipping

We deliver this bed across India and accept international orders. It is made to order, so dispatch follows the production window confirmed to you in writing when the order is placed. If you are supplying your own fabric, the timeline runs from the date the fabric reaches our workshop, not from the order date.

Indian deliveries move by covered transport with crates braced against movement, delivered to your address. The carved headboard is the largest single component; confirm lift dimensions and staircase turns before production, and where access is tight we can build the headboard to separate at a concealed joint.

Home assembly is arranged in most Indian cities. International orders are quoted per destination with export-grade crating and full documentation, and destination duties, taxes and clearance are the buyer's responsibility.

Warranty

Brown Rabbit warrants the solid teak frame, the joinery and the hand carving of the bed and the bedside chests against manufacturing defects. If a joint loosens, a rail fails or a carved element cracks because of a fault in the making, we repair or replace it.

Upholstery workmanship, including button seating, panel tension, pattern placement and the fixing of the tassel trim, is warranted against defects. Fabric wear, snagging of the trim, staining, marks from hair oil or cosmetics and fading in direct sunlight are not covered. Woven damask shows abrasion at the tufting folds sooner than a flat weave, which is a property of the cloth rather than a fault.

The antique silver finish is warranted against flaking or lifting caused by defective application, with natural mellowing expected. Where you supply your own fabric, we warrant our workmanship on it but not the fabric's own performance. Damage from moisture, chemical cleaners, independently arranged transport or third-party repairs is outside the warranty. Full terms are confirmed in writing with your order.
