About this object

The Versailles Nocturne represents the pinnacle of French provincial bedroom furniture translated through Jodhpur's master craftsmen. Its design lineage traces to the Louis XV period, when French ébénistes transformed Gothic cathedral architecture into intimate chamber furnishings. The barrel-vault headboard with lancet-arch panel divisions echoes the grand maisons de décoration of Paris, built with the same mortise-and-tenon joinery and hand-shaped cabriole feet that defined 18th-century French cabinetmaking. This form has been quietly produced in Rajasthan's workshops for international luxury markets for over two decades. The bed frame is constructed from solid oak finished in a limewash ceruse technique that strips the timber to a silvery, bone-pale surface reminiscent of weathered Normandy wood. Every surface is upholstered in warm sand-tone linen-cotton blend velvet with precision double-piped seam detailing. The headboard rises approximately 155 cm in a full architectural arch, with three individually upholstered vertical panels separated by exposed limewash framing. Hand-shaped Louis XV cabriole feet with pronounced knee and delicate ankle support the structure, while the serpentine footboard rail echoes the headboard's curvature in quieter register. High-density foam fill and hand-sewn upholstery ensure both structural rigidity and physical comfort. This bed commands principal bedrooms of consequence—Delhi farmhouse master suites, Jaipur palace hotel rooms, Mumbai penthouses with high ceilings and considered interiors. Internationally, full-arch upholstered beds with cerused oak frames command USD $6,500–$12,000 in the Restoration Hardware catalogue and €4,000–€8,000 from Parisian reproduction houses. Kahgez provides direct access to the same Jodhpur workshops that supply global luxury markets, eliminating intermediary margins while maintaining the highest craft standards. Made-to-order in 6–8 weeks, available in Queen and King sizes with custom dimensions accommodated.
