Blue Upholstered King Size Bed in Teak - Silver Carved Damask Frame

Silver Instead of Gold, and Why the Damask Is Oversized

Two decisions define this bed. The first was to finish the carving in antique silver. Gold on carved teak reads warm and ornate and works beautifully against ivory or cream; against a saturated blue it fights. Silver-champagne recedes, and the effect is that the blue looks deeper and the carving looks sharper, because the eye reads the highlight as shadow-edge rather than as ornament in its own right. The second decision was to scale the damask up. A small repeating pattern on a footboard of this size disappears into texture from three metres away. Enlarging the motif means the footboard still reads as pattern from the bedroom door.

The upholstery and the carving are done by different hands. A carver shapes the teak surround and the pierced crest with chisels, working from solid stock so the pierced sections are cut through rather than assembled. The frame is then sealed and the silver applied and aged by hand along the raised edges. Only after that does an upholsterer stretch and button the blue panels into the finished frame, which is the slow way round but the only way to get the fabric sitting tight against carved edges without gaps. The images on this page are of the actual piece, not a rendering.

Protecting Blue Fabric and Pierced Carving in Transit

This bed presents two separate packing problems. The pierced crest above the headboard has cut-through sections that a careless strap would snap, and the blue upholstery marks if anything abrasive rubs against it over a long road journey. So the two are packed differently. Upholstered panels get a breathable soft-face wrap laid directly against the fabric, which will not scuff the nap or leave pressure lines, then a foam layer above that. Carved sections are contour-padded, meaning the foam is cut to sit around the scrollwork and pierced openings so no load ever rests on the fine detail.

Both then go inside a rigid outer shell, corner-braced, and strapped so the contents cannot shift under braking or on rough road. The two bedside chests travel in their own crates with drawers immobilised. This is more packaging than most furniture makers use and it costs us real money per order, which is precisely why we can guarantee that your bed arrives dent-free, scratch-free and with the carving intact. If it does not, that is on us to put right.

Free PAN-India Delivery on Made-to-Order Beds

You pay nothing for delivery, anywhere in India. Metro or small town, near or far, there is no freight charge and no distance surcharge on your invoice. What you should plan for instead is time. This bed does not exist until you order it: the teak has to be selected, the carving cut by hand, the frame finished and aged, and only then does the upholstery go on. We give you a completion window once your specification is signed off, and we would rather quote you an honest date than a flattering one you will be disappointed by.

When it is ready, the bed ships in its multi-layer protective packing with our dent-free arrival guarantee attached. We tell you when it dispatches and keep you informed while it is on the road. Our team assembles it in your bedroom and we ask you to inspect the upholstery seams, the buttoning and the silver finish while they are still there, so any concern is raised immediately rather than a week later. If access to your bedroom involves a tight staircase or a small lift, mention it when you enquire so the frame can be engineered to knock down into manageable sections.

What Is Covered on This Upholstered Teak Bed

Two guarantees sit behind this piece. The solid teak frame and every joint in it are warranted for 20 years. Termite damage is covered for as long as you own the bed, with no expiry. We separate them deliberately, because they protect against different risks: the 20-year cover is about construction, and the lifetime termite cover is about the timber itself. Teak resists termites naturally through its oil content, and we season and treat every board before carving, but a lifetime guarantee is the only version of that claim that costs us something if we are wrong.

The blue upholstery, the buttoning, the foam and the silver surface finish sit outside the structural warranty, because those age with use rather than with construction quality. That is not a gap we hide from: we reupholster and refinish our own beds at any point in their life, and we quote it honestly. Keep the bed indoors and away from prolonged direct sun, which fades blue faster than most colours, and do not alter the frame yourself. If anything covered fails, send us photographs with your order reference. Since we built the bed, we can repair or remake an individual carved section without disturbing the rest.
