Enjoy the variety of hand made beds

We all love decorating our homes and we all keep searching for some unique art and craft pieces for the same. Some collect ethnic art pieces, some are ardent collectors of antique pieces , and some are fans of good paintings. But there is one more piece of art which is unique and beautiful for your bedroom.
Those are Handmade Beds like Handmade Fourposter bed or Heirloom beds. Not everyone can or has the means of owning a handmade bed. These beds create a powerful visual impact on the viewers and its beauty make them stop in their steps.
These are used as a centre piece for your bedrooms, with this you wont require other antique pieces for your bedroom. These Heir loom Beds are an antique, which are passed down for generations through family members. And to make them last till generations, you need to choose a manufacturer who pays equal attention to detailing and quality as well.
Each piece is hand carved by generations of the finest carvers who utilise traditional hand tools and raw materials and are made from high standard wood. These are generally available in a range of bedsteads, four poster beds, testers, and other bedroom furniture.
Handmade beds are very popular in United Kingdom and many people from as far as Spain, Italy, Arab Emirates, specially come down to United Kingdom to take home their best quality handmade beds.

Handmade beds are carved out of wood of highest grade and generally different types of Mahogany and teak woods are used. But when browsing for a website of handmade manufacturers you need to be careful about what quality and type of mahogany wod they are using as not all mahogany woods are good.
If they are using Lauan Mahogany Red or Blanc, also known as Philippine Mahogany, then do not opt for them but search for a manufacturer who uses mahogany of Swetenia or Khaya family.
True Mahogany are those which comes from the trees of Swetenia, which is in South America.
Also do not go for French or English or American Oak as they are light woods.
Swietenia macrophylla, usually known as Brazilian mahogany, but is also known as American mahogany or Big Leaf mahogany.
Brazilian mahogany occurs naturally in a broad band across the southern paert of the Amazon rainforests, stretching from north-eastern Bolivia and the Brazilian states.
These are the best grade woods which should be used by a good and reputed handmade bed manufacturer. Also beware that the manufacturer are not using the quick and cheap wax finish, as they provide less protection and are high on maintainance.
It is always better to first go to the showrooms of the manufacturers you selected online and inquire and inspect their quality, detailing, finish, craftmen, raw materials used and wax used by them.Also inquire about shipping and other charges.
