Beech Park Bed

The Beech Park Bed is a seminal piece of our collection, serving as the very first bed design created by Shackleton Thomas. Named after Charlie’s boyhood home in Ireland, this bed is a sophisticated "nod" to the classic American cannonball style, blending nostalgic heritage with the refined precision of Vermont craftsmanship.

The design is distinguished by its soft, architectural curves and meticulous hand-worked details:

Features & Craftsmanship

• Graceful Arched Headboard: The headboard features a gentle, sweeping arch that provides a sense of height and quiet dignity to the bedroom suite.

• Hand-Turned Post Finials: Each corner post is crowned with a precision hand-turned spherical finial, reflecting the traditional "cannonball" aesthetic with an artisanal, human touch.

• Hand-Cut Beading: The solid wood panels in the headboard and footboard are framed by hand-cut beading, adding a delicate, high-relief transition that highlights the masterful joinery.

• Solid Hand-Planed Panels: The frame incorporates expansive solid panels that are hand-finished to a silky-smooth luster, celebrating the natural warmth and shimmering grain of the timber.

• Artisanal Brass Hardware: The base of each post is accented with substantial solid brass bolt covers, providing a functional structural element and a polished decorative hallmark.

• Heirloom Quality Construction: Typically crafted from premium solid American cherry, the Beech Park Bed is built to age into a deep, rich patina and serve as a centerpiece of the home for generations.

The Beech Park Bed is a durable work of art, designed to bring a sense of history, comfort, and soulful craftsmanship to your most personal space.
