Oak, walnut, and noble essences
At GONTIER, material selection is essential. All our beds are made from French solid wood, sourced from sustainably managed forests. Offered as standard in oak and cherrywood, they can also be crafted in ash or walnut. Among these, oak is valued for its timeless strength, while walnut is admired in Anglo-Saxon interiors for its deep tones and luxurious character.
We use only grades 1 and 1+, the finest cuts of wood, selected for their purity and uniformity. Free from knots that affect the finish or any major imperfections, they deliver an exceptional look that is refined and high-end.
This uncompromising standard ensures beds capable of lasting through decades without losing their authenticity or value.
👉 By choosing a GONTIER bed, you invest in noble wood that is durable and carries timeless elegance.
A heritage of craftsmanship passed down through generations
For over a century, GONTIER has carried on the art of working solid wood in the French tradition. Each bed is crafted with the greatest care, from traditional joinery to hand-applied finishes, creating furniture that is both authentic and refined. Stains, patinas, lacquers, and varnishes are all applied by hand to highlight the natural grain of the wood and reveal its unique character.
We also offer, at no extra cost, three types of aging effects to suit different tastes:
-
Decorator finish – no artificial aging, for a bed with a brand-new appearance.
-
Half-antique finish – with patina and subtle “fly specks,” evoking a bed that already carries a touch of history.
-
Antique finish – adding cracks and imitation wormholes, for the soul of a time-worn piece.
From wood cutting and machining to assembly and finishing, every step is carried out with precision and dedication, reflecting the excellence of French cabinetmaking. This guarantees each GONTIER bed both timeless charm and lasting quality.
👉 A bed shaped in France by expert hands is the promise of a unique, enduring piece of furniture.
A solid bed, crafted to stand the test of time
Solid wood, the natural material par excellence, also contributes to comfort and well-being: it does not retain humidity, reduces dust accumulation, and creates a healthy, calming environment in the bedroom.
A GONTIER solid wood bed means:
-
A robust structure that stands strong through the decades.
-
A lifelong companion, passed on from one generation to the next.
-
A piece of furniture that retains its charm and authenticity over time.
Designed to endure, these beds are not simple purchases but true family investments. Choosing a GONTIER bed means opting for a piece that accompanies life, spans eras, and becomes a heritage.
Personalisation and bespoke design for a unique bed
Because every interior is unique, GONTIER bed frames can be tailored to your needs: traditional French double sizes (140×190, 140×200, 160×200, 180×200 cm), as well as Queen or King size. You can also choose whether to order the frame alone, with a base, or with a mattress.
Our colour chart presents a wide selection of wood stains and lacquer finishes. We can also create your preferred shade or colour outside the standard palette for a supplement of €140, or leave the bed natural, protected only with a clear varnish.
We also study all special requests: adjusting proportions, modifying specific details, or even creating a fully bespoke bed based on photos, sketches, or technical drawings.
This flexibility allows every GONTIER bed to integrate seamlessly into any bedroom, whether classic or more contemporary.
