Royal Luxury Handcrafted Carved Teak Bed | Gold and White Rose Carved Headboard

The story of the carver's hand

A furniture carver works with a set of gouges, each ground to a particular curve, and the craft is largely about knowing which one matches the line in front of you. A rose is not carved petal by petal from the outside in; it is roughed as a mass, then the outer petals are released, then the inner ones, and the carver works down into the flower without ever being able to put material back. There is no undo.

India's carving tradition runs continuously from temple and haveli work into furniture, and the same families that cut architectural brackets and door surrounds moved into carved seating and beds as households changed. The vocabulary shifted from stone and dense local hardwoods to teak, but the tool grip and the sequence of cuts did not.

Machine routing can now produce a passable relief pattern in minutes, and moulded resin can imitate one for a fraction of the cost. Neither can do what a hand carver does with an undercut, where the chisel goes in behind the form so the element stands free of its background. That undercut is the shadow line your eye reads as depth, and it is the single most reliable thing to look for.

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 and crest height in writing before carving begins.

Packaging

Pierced carving is the most fragile thing we ship. Openwork has thin sections with nothing behind them, so any pressure across an unsupported span will break an element that took days to cut. The crest is packed with foam supporting the piercing from both faces, so no load can cross an open section.

Roses carved in the round project further than the rest of the surface and take the first contact in any knock. Each cluster is individually padded before the general foam wrap goes on. The white tufted panels are covered in an undyed breathable cloth with foam over the buttons, and no adhesive tape touches any finished or upholstered surface.

The bed travels in a wooden crate built to this piece with internal bracing, and the crest is oriented so the carving faces inward rather than towards a crate wall. Hardware is bagged, labelled and secured inside. Ask us for crate dimensions before dispatch if your lift or staircase is restricted.

Shipping

We deliver across India and accept international orders. This bed is made to order, and because the carving is the long pole in production, we quote a realistic carving schedule rather than an optimistic one and confirm it in writing at the time of order.

Indian deliveries move by covered transport with the crate braced against movement, delivered to your address. The pierced crest makes the headboard both the tallest and the most delicate component, so please confirm your lift height and staircase turns before production. Where access is tight, the crest can be built to detach at a joint concealed within the carving.

Home assembly is arranged in most Indian cities. We would strongly recommend our team rather than a general handyman on a pierced carved bed, since a broken openwork section is a re-carve, not a repair. International orders are quoted per destination with export-grade crating; duties and taxes at destination are the buyer's responsibility.

Warranty

Brown Rabbit warrants the solid teak frame, the joinery and the hand carving against manufacturing defects. If a carved or pierced element fails because of a fault in timber selection or in the making, we repair or re-carve it. Carving is the value in this bed, and it is where our warranty is most meaningful.

Breakage of pierced elements caused by impact, by lifting the bed by its crest, or by transport arranged independently by the buyer is not covered, because openwork carving cannot be made impact-proof without making it look like something else. Always lift this headboard by its frame.

Upholstery workmanship is warranted against defects; fabric wear, staining and sun fading are not. The gold finish is warranted against flaking or lifting caused by defective application, with natural mellowing expected. Damage from moisture, chemical cleaners or third-party repairs falls outside the warranty. Full terms are issued in writing with your order.
