Pencil Post Bed
$6,800.00 - $10,335.00
The Pencil Post Bed is crafted after the simple design of the modular English Field Bed, which was popular among British officers who transported the beds via camel to remote colonial outposts. Like its inspiration, our Pencil Post Bed is an exercise in minimalism. With four slender, octagonal posts, these beds are available in a simple, unadorned style but can be modified to include a canopy.

A striking visual complement.
Like its colonial British inspiration, our Pencil Post Bed’s four posts are its most prominent design feature. Each post is crafted from a single piece of 3″ x 3″ wood which rises to seven feet in length. Each post is crafted in our workshop to form a tapered octagonal rise – resulting in an exquisite profile that looks beautiful either with or without finials and a canopy. The bed frame involves four long cherry or walnut planks, through-bolted with polished brass bolts to the posts to ensure a long, stable life.
Please note: This bed is designed to accommodate 16” – 18” mattress and box spring combinations. Standard bolt covers for the Pencil Post Bed are polished brass. For platform bed options or to request custom bolt covers, please select the customize option in the drop-down menu next to the “Add to Cart” button.
Anatomy of the Pencil Post Bed
The Headboard
The headboard of the Pencil Post Bed provides additional support for its rear posts and is hand-joined at four points. Shaped from solid wood, it arcs at the crest and offers two concave cuts at either side for visual interest – without compromising strength.
The Frame
The frame of the bed involves four long cherry or walnut planks, through bolted with polished brass bolts to the posts to ensure a long, stable life. The frame is hand-finished and contrasts beautifully with bedding.
Finishing Touches
Each post is then crafted in our workshop to form a tapered octagonal rise – resulting in a strikingly elegant profile that looks beautiful either with or without finials and a canopy. Bed bolt covers are constructed of polished brass.
