Tree of Life Bed

The Tree of Life Bed is a profound celebration of artistic partnership, meticulously designed and handcrafted in our Bridgewater, Vermont workshop. This stunning piece represents a unique collaborative project where husband and wife, Charles Shackleton and Miranda Thomas, combined their respective masteries of furniture making and Miranda’s iconic Tree of Life design to create a bed of singular beauty.

The design is defined by its symbolic center-point and harmonious, architectural silhouette:

Features & Craftsmanship

• Hand-Carved Tree of Life Motif: The centerpiece of the bed is a masterfully hand-carved "Tree of Life" motif set into a solid wood headboard panel, showcasing the "human feeling" and high-relief detail characteristic of our workshop.

• Balanced Silhouette: The headboard features a gentle, sweeping arch that is perfectly mirrored by the curved footboard, creating a sense of visual harmony and quiet enclosure.

• Solid Hardwood Construction: Typically crafted from premium solid American hardwoods, the frame is hand-finished to a silky-smooth luster that celebrates the natural warmth and shimmering grain of the timber.

• Robust Internal Engineering: To ensure lifelong stability, all Queen and King-size beds are built with three substantial wooden cross rails designed to accommodate a split box spring.

• Artisanal Brass Accents: The footboard is punctuated by substantial solid brass bolt covers, serving as both a functional structural requirement and a refined decorative hallmark.

• Heirloom Quality: Built using traditional joinery, this bed is a durable work of art intended to anchor a home with history and elegance for generations.

The Tree of Life Bed is a testament to soulful Vermont craftsmanship, designed to bring a sense of natural beauty and peaceful permanence to your most personal sanctuary.
