Four Poster Beds- A Symbol Of Class
Author : jessica pickaso
Four poster beds have remained a choice of the elite class for centuries. A four poster bed is a bed with vertical stakes on all four corners which provide support to an upper panel or a tester. However, lots of people prefer four poster beds without a tester.
They have intricate designs and carvings which make them luxurious in appearance.
Emperor of beds
For a long period of time, these beds are regarded as a mark of luxury and royalty. Someone has well said that they are "The king of beds and the bed of kings". In ancient times, the poster beds were preferred by the kings, the noblemen and the royal leaders. No wonder, the builders of these beds introduced new elements like special woods, carvings and splendid designs to satisfy the higher strata of society.
Great choice for hotels
The four poster beds are also considered extremely romantic in style. They are showing up well in hotels as they offer an exceptional style and romantic environment. They are most ideal for honeymoon and are loved by newly weds. These beds have proven to be a great option for hotel business for good customer services.
Evolution
Originally, these beds were built to serve as a safeguard against mosquitoes, insects and vermin. The tester and the posters together sustain the drapes or mosquito nets so that the sleeper could have a comfortable sleep. Though four poster beds were originally built with specific uses in mind, the contemporary four poster bed has become a decorative piece of furniture that gives a tradition and authentic look to the bedroom.
Exclusivity of hand made poster beds
Though machine made poster beds have certain advantages:
1 They are less expensive.
2 They have wide variety of designs.
3 They can be produced in large numbers in a short period.
Still a handmade has its own charm and advantages. Since they are made under supervision, you have the freedom of choosing wood or timber as well as have them designed according to you taste and size of the room. Besides being bio-degradable, they are eco-friendly and long-lasting. With the increase in the cost of real timber and hard workmanship, these handmade ones can be very expensive.
Four poster beds have stood the test of time. With constant innovations, they have not only remained favourites of the elite class but have also come within reach of people with lesser income but refined taste. So, with wide variety of styles, designs and sizes, these beds can fit best into your rooms as well as your budgets.
