Beds of this form were common in Anglo-Indian mansion houses and garden residences across Murshidabad in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, where elevated posts supported mosquito netting and lightweight canopy cloth suited to the humid riverine climate of the Bhagirathi basin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turned and reeded posts reflect British Georgian joinery translated through local teak craftsmanship, while the pierced and carved headboard recalls regional Bengali wood carving seen in zamindari residences and Company-era bungalows. Such hybrid forms - European in structural conception yet executed by Indian artisans - were characteristic of elite households in Cossimbazar, where Armenian, British, and Bengali patrons commissioned durable teak furnishings for long-term residence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed in solid hardwood with traditional joinery, the bed preserves the restrained proportions and practical canopy frame typical of Bengal Presidency domestic furniture. It is an academically faithful revival of the Anglo-Indian mansion house poster bed associated with Murshidabad’s late-18th-century urban estates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial \u003c\/strong\u003e– Teak Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions in Inches\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Length: 82\u003cbr\u003eOverall Width: 78 for King, 66 for Queen\u003cbr\u003eHeadboard Height: 44\u003cbr\u003eFootboard Height: 32\u003cbr\u003eOverall Height (with Post): 82\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that each piece is handmade.
