Teak Wood Bed Design in Walnut Finish - Cream Buttoned Headboard

Putting upholstery at the head and wood at the foot is a functional division before it is a stylistic one. The headboard is the only part of a bed anybody touches for long periods - you sit against it to read, you lean on it in the morning - and padding belongs where a body rests. The footboard is looked at, not leaned on, so it can be the piece that shows what the timber can do.

That makes the footboard panel the most considered element in the bed. It has to be selected for figure, cut from boards taken in sequence from one log, and laid up so the grain mirrors from the centre. All of that happens before any carving begins, and it is the reason no two of these footboards are the same.

The carved shell hanging below the apron is a detail our master Indian artisans keep because of what it does at floor level: it breaks the straight line along the bottom of the bed, so the piece does not appear to sit heavily on the floor. Small decisions like that are what separate a carved bed from a decorated one.

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

Headboard: Cream buttoned upholstered panel with a shaped double-curve top, carved teak frame with a pierced centre crest and carved volutes at the shoulders.

Footboard: Single wide figured teak panel with symmetrical grain, moulded border, carved shell and scroll crest above, carved apron below with a hanging centre shell.

Feet: Carved scroll feet at all four corners.

Finish: Walnut as shown, and available in natural honey teak, mid brown or espresso.

Bedside chests: Two drawers each, moulded fronts, carved corners and feet. Included as shown, available in any quantity.

Wood headboard option: The headboard can be made in figured or carved teak instead of upholstery.

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.

Polished walnut shows every scuff, so the footboard panel is covered first in a soft non-abrasive layer laid on without tension, and nothing is allowed to slide across it at any point in packing.

The carved shell crest above the footboard and the shell hanging below the apron both stand clear of the frame, and each is given a shaped foam shell so packing bears on the block rather than on the carving.

The pierced crest above the headboard is foam-faced from both sides, and the carved shoulder volutes are blocked individually. The buttoned panel is bagged in a breathable cover so the fabric arrives clean.

Carved scroll feet are collared along their curve. Rails are bundled and edge-guarded, fittings sealed in a labelled pouch, and the chests packed with drawers secured. Everything is crated together with handling instructions. Every photograph on this page shows the actual bed before packing - real furniture, not a render.

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

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 footboard panel is selected and laid up, the carving cut and the walnut polish built.

On arrival the bed is carried in and assembled in your bedroom: headboard and footboard joined to the rails, everything levelled to your floor, the polish and upholstery checked over, and the bedside chests placed where you want them. We guarantee dent-free arrival, and if anything is not right when you see it, tell us and we will make it right.

The solid teak frame and joinery of this bed are covered for 20 years - the headboard frame, the footboard panel and its border, the side rails, the carved feet and every joint between them. A wide solid panel has to be built to stay flat, and that construction is what the warranty stands behind.

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

An exposed wood bed is the easiest kind to bring back to new. The footboard and frame can be sanded back and re-polished in the same walnut or in a different tone entirely, as many times as you like. The headboard panel can be re-covered to the same shaped line and buttoning grid, since we hold the specification of your exact bed on file. Fittings are replaceable with parts made for your piece. Our own master Indian artisans do the work and explain it beforehand.
