Royal Luxury Handcrafted Carved Teak Bed with Side Tables | Champagne Gold Wing Headboard

The story of the winged headboard

Wings on a headboard began as a draught shield, not a decoration. In unheated stone houses the sides of a bed were the coldest place to sleep, and upholsterers extended the head panel outward and forward to trap warm air around the pillows. The same logic produced the wing chair, and the two forms developed side by side in the same workshops.

When the shape reached India it lost its thermal purpose and kept its proportions. In a climate where the enemy was heat rather than cold, the wings became a way of giving a bed presence across a wide wall, and Indian workshops widened them further than their European sources ever had. Wall-to-wall bedroom arrangements in havelis and hotel suites are where the form settled.

Our artisans build the wings as part of the headboard structure rather than bolting them on, which is why the carved frame runs continuously across all three panels without a visible seam. Each tufted panel is upholstered separately and then set into that frame. Handcrafted Indian luxury shows up in exactly this kind of decision, where the harder method is chosen because the easy one shows.

Dimensions and weight are not published, because the bed and the headboard width are both built to your room. Send your mattress measurements and the full width of the headboard wall and we will confirm the finished footprint in writing before production.

Packaging

This set ships as several pieces, so packing is organised by component. Each upholstered panel is covered in a breathable cloth with a foam layer over the buttons, so nothing presses into the tufting during transit. The champagne gold carving is wrapped separately in foam sheeting, thickened at the headboard crest, the wing edges and the footboard scrolls.

The two bedside chests are packed individually with their drawers secured shut and each drawer front separately padded, since drawer fronts on a gold finish scuff against each other if allowed to move.

Everything travels in wooden crates built for this set rather than in stock sizes, with internal bracing. Hardware is bagged, labelled by component and fixed inside the main crate. Because the winged headboard is wide, crate width rather than height is usually the access constraint, so tell us your lift and doorway widths and we will confirm crate dimensions before dispatch.

Shipping

We deliver across India and accept international orders. This set is made to order, so dispatch follows the production window confirmed to you in writing when the order is placed.

Indian deliveries move by covered transport with all crates braced against movement, and are delivered to your address. The winged headboard is the widest single component in the set. If your lift or stair turn cannot take its width, we can build the wings as separate sections that bolt to the centre panel behind the upholstery line, so the joint is invisible once assembled.

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

Warranty

Brown Rabbit warrants the solid teak structure, the joinery and the hand carving of the bed and both side tables against manufacturing defects. If a joint loosens, a drawer runner fails or a carved element cracks because of a fault in the making, we repair or replace it.

Upholstery workmanship, including button seating and panel tension across all three headboard panels, is warranted against defects. Surface wear on the upholstery, staining, marks from hair oil or cosmetics, and fading from direct sunlight are not covered, as these depend on use and placement.

The champagne gold finish is warranted against flaking or lifting caused by defective application. Slight variation in tone between separately produced pieces ordered at different times is inherent to a hand-applied finish and is not a defect, which is why we recommend ordering the full set at once. 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.
