Adriance Heirloom Beds are handmade to last for generations using the time-honored construction method of authentic Mortise & Tenon joinery. These are the techniques epitomizing the strength found in Early American timber-frame houses. The posts are hand-turned with your choice of finials. The rails are tenoned into the posts, and secured with 6” steel bolts, and concealed by solid brass bolt covers. Boxspring and mattress are supported by steel bed brackets; or your choice of slats or plywood platform on cleats for top mattress only option. Beautiful wide-boards of native cherry and tiger maple are chosen to create highly-figured, matched-grain headboards. We select the best lumber from sawmills recognized by the Forest Stewardship Council for sustainable forestry. Adriance signed heirlooms are hand-finished with several coats of water-resistant tung oil-rich yacht varnish, then waxed and hand-rubbed to a lustrous satin patina, requiring no upkeep. To assure genuine authenticity for discerning clients, our distinctive Starwheel trademark is hand-carved into each artform. Click photo for description and pricing.
