Hand-Carved Polychrome Floral Bed: Pastel Rococo

Bespoke Hand-Carved Polychrome Floral Bed

At OE-FASHION Furniture, design is an exercise in restraint and precision. The Bespoke Hand-Carved Polychrome Floral Bed is constructed to offer a lasting foundation of rest, balancing whimsical artistry with structural solidity.

Aesthetic Overview & Proportions

This piece marks a departure from traditional gilding, utilising a “polychrome” (multi-coloured) finish to highlight its intricate joinery. The silhouette is defined by a perfect semi-circular (lunette) headboard, referencing classical fan motifs. The outer rim is adorned with high-relief, hand-carved garlands of lilies and daisies, individually painted in soft pastel enamels. The upholstery is zoned into two sections: an outer arc of diamond-quilted cream jacquard and a central semi-circle of midnight blue velvet, which serves as a contrasting backdrop for delicate embroidered motifs.

Technical Craftsmanship & Materiality

Constructed with a kiln-dried solid basswood frame, chosen for its fine grain and suitability for deep carving, the structure is robust yet visually fluid. The floral ornamentation is not applied moulding but carved integrally from the frame blocks. The finishing process involves the application of multiple layers of matte and satin enamels to achieve the porcelain-like effect on the petals. The upholstery is secured with hidden tacking strips to maintain a clean transition between the fabric and the carved wood.

• Structural Integrity: Reinforced central vertical brace to support the lunette span.
• Artisan Finish: Hand-painted polychrome detailing sealed with a non-yellowing varnish.
• Upholstery: Dual-fabric application with high-density foam padding.

Interior Curation & Spatial Integration

To maximise the visual impact of the Bespoke Hand-Carved Polychrome Floral Bed, we recommend positioning it within interiors that embrace a “Maximalist” or “Romantic” aesthetic. The pastel colour palette allows for integration with soft blue, cream, or blush wall treatments. Due to the ornate nature of the headboard, it serves as the room’s primary artwork; we advise keeping adjacent wall decor minimal to allow the carved floral rim to breathe. This design pairs exceptionally well with French provincial furniture or white-washed timber flooring.

OE-FASHION Interiors serves as your technical manufacturing partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Q: How do I clean the carved flowers?
    A: The painted finish is sealed and durable. Dust gently with a soft-bristled brush (such as a makeup brush) to remove dust from the deep crevices of the carvings. Avoid wet cloths on the fabric areas.

• • Q: Can the central dark panel be changed to a lighter colour?
    A: Yes. The central semi-circle is fully customisable. We often replace the midnight blue with a champagne satin or a matching cream jacquard for a more subtle look.

• • Q: Is the headboard delivered in one piece?
    A: Due to the solid construction of the semi-circular arc, the headboard is typically crated as a single unit. Please ensure your entryways and stairwells can accommodate the full height and width dimensions.

• Q: How is the paint protected during transit?
  A: We use a combination of Tyvek wrap (which is breathable but water-resistant) and custom-moulded foam spacers to ensure the delicate carved petals do not touch the crate walls during export.
