Teak Wood King Size Bed with Side Tables - Cream Heart Carved Headboard

Why a Heart Sits at the Top of This Bed

The heart in the crest is not decoration borrowed from a catalogue. It comes from the cartouche tradition in European carved furniture, where the highest point of a headboard was reserved for a single emblem that identified the household. Our carvers adapted that idea for Indian bedrooms, replacing the crest or coat of arms with a shape that reads immediately: a heart, cut in relief inside a shell surround, sitting exactly where the eye lands when you walk into the room. It has made this design a frequent choice for wedding bedrooms and for couples furnishing a first home together.

Executing it is slower than it looks. The crest is carved from solid teak, not applied as a moulded add-on, so the heart, the shell around it and the scrolls that flow away from it are all cut from the same continuous piece of wood. A carver works the relief by hand with chisels, then the surface is sealed, painted in cream and hand-highlighted along the raised edges in gold, which is what gives the carving its depth under bedroom lighting. Because it is handwork by master Indian artisans, no two of these crests are identical, and the photographs on this page are of the actual product rather than a rendering.

How This Bed Is Packed for Transit

A carved crest is the most vulnerable part of a bed like this, and it is the part most likely to be chipped in an ordinary furniture move. That is why the packing is built around it. Each carved component is first wrapped in a soft non-abrasive layer that sits directly against the cream-and-gold finish without marking it, then bound in foam padding shaped to the profile of the carving so the scrollwork and the heart cartouche are not bearing any load. Corners, feet and the headboard crown get additional edge protection.

Around that goes a rigid outer layer, and the assembled crate is strapped so that nothing shifts even if the vehicle brakes hard. The tufted panel travels with its face protected against rub marks. The two bedside chests are crated separately with their drawers secured so they cannot slide during the journey. Every layer is there for a reason we have learned the expensive way over many deliveries. Our commitment is simple and we stand behind it: your bed reaches you without a dent, without a scratch and without a chip in the carving, or we make it right.

Delivery of Your Made-to-Order Bed

Delivery is free across India. There is no separate freight line on your invoice whether the bed is going to a flat in Mumbai, a farmhouse outside Delhi or a home in Kochi, and we do not charge more for distance. Because the piece is made to order rather than picked off a shelf, production begins after your specification is confirmed in writing, and we will give you a realistic completion window at that point rather than an optimistic one. Hand-carving and hand-finishing take the time they take, and we would rather tell you the honest date at the start.

Once the bed is finished, it is packed in multi-layer protection and dispatched with a dent-free arrival guarantee that we treat as a commitment, not marketing language. You are told when it leaves and kept updated in transit. On arrival the bed is assembled for you, and we ask that you inspect the carving, the finish and the upholstery in front of the delivery team so anything you are not satisfied with is raised on the spot. If your building has narrow stairs, a small lift or an awkward turn, tell us at enquiry so the frame can be engineered to break down accordingly.

Warranty on This Carved Teak Bed

Brown Rabbit warrants the solid teak frame and joinery of this bed for 20 years from the date of delivery. That covers the structural timber and the joints that hold it together, which is where a bed either survives decades of daily use or does not. Separately, and for the entire life of the piece, we cover it against termite damage. Teak carries natural oils that termites avoid, and we season and treat every board before it reaches a carver, but the lifetime cover exists so that you are not the one carrying the risk if an infestation ever reaches this bed.

What the warranty asks of you is straightforward: keep the bed indoors, do not stand it in standing water or direct monsoon exposure, and do not modify the frame yourself. Upholstery, foam and the painted cream-and-gold surface are treated separately from the structural cover, since those wear according to use rather than construction, and we will quote refinishing or reupholstery for you at any point in the life of the bed. If something covered does go wrong, contact us with photographs and your order reference and we will inspect, repair or replace. Because we made the piece, we can also remake any single carved element without replacing the whole bed.
