Royal Luxury Handcrafted Carved Teak Bed | Ivory Pearl Tufted Headboard Design

The story of how high a bed should be

Beds have moved up and down for centuries, and always for reasons that had nothing to do with sleep. Medieval and early modern beds sat high because the floor was cold, damp and occupied by animals and servants, and because a trundle bed had to slide underneath. Height was safety and status, and steps beside a bed were an ordinary piece of furniture.

Then the twentieth century pushed beds down. Central heating, clean floors and modernist taste produced the low platform bed, and mattresses grew thicker at the same time, which quietly raised the sleeping surface back up again. The result is that published frame heights stopped meaning much: two identical frames with different mattresses can differ by a foot.

Our artisans work from the finished height instead. We ask what mattress you are using and what height you want to sit at, and we set the rail position and leg height so the top of the mattress lands there. It is an unglamorous calculation done before any carving begins, and it is the difference between a bed you can live with and a beautiful one you climb into.

We do not publish a fixed height, length or weight, because the finished height depends on your mattress and your preference. Send the mattress thickness and dimensions with your room plan and we will confirm every finished measurement in writing before production begins.

Packaging

The carved cabriole legs on this bed are the components most at risk in transit, because a curved leg concentrates any impact at the ankle of the curve. Each leg is padded individually along its length with additional foam at the narrowest section, and the frame is crated so that no load bears on the legs.

The upholstered headboard panel is wrapped in a breathable undyed cloth with foam laid over the buttons, so nothing presses into the tufting. The ivory finish is wrapped in clean undyed material only, with no printed or dyed packing touching a finished surface and no adhesive tape applied to the piece.

Everything travels in a wooden crate built for this bed, internally braced so no component can move. Assembly hardware is bagged, labelled and secured inside the crate with the assembly sequence. Crate dimensions can be confirmed to you before dispatch if your lift or staircase 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 at the time of order.

Indian deliveries travel by covered transport with the crate braced against movement, delivered to your address. The carved headboard is the largest single component; confirm lift dimensions and staircase turns before production so we can plan for access, and where necessary the headboard can be built to separate at a concealed joint.

Home assembly is arranged in most Indian cities. Bring the mattress to the room before the assembly team leaves if you can, because that is the moment to check the finished height against what you expected, while adjustment is still simple. International orders are quoted per destination with export-grade crating and full documentation; destination duties and taxes are the buyer's responsibility.

Warranty

Brown Rabbit warrants the solid teak frame, the carved legs, the joinery and the hand carving against manufacturing defects. Leg failure through a fault in timber selection or in the making is covered, and on a bed with carved cabriole legs that is the cover worth having.

Upholstery workmanship on the headboard panel, including button seating and panel tension, is warranted against defects. Fabric wear, staining, marks from hair oil or cosmetics and fading in sunlight are not covered, as these follow use and placement rather than manufacture.

The ivory finish is warranted against flaking or lifting caused by defective application. Gradual warming of the ivory tone with age and light is expected in a hand-applied finish and is not a defect. Damage from moisture, chemical cleaners, sitting or standing on the footboard, independently arranged transport, or repairs attempted by others falls outside the warranty. Full terms are issued in writing with your order.
