Price History
Description
Master craftsmanship takes centre stage in the Artisan bed from Gallery Direct. This piece seamlessly merges timeless design with exceptional artistry, showcasing hand-turned bobbin details. The bed's frame is crafted from fine oak and finished with a subtle lime wash.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of this Artisan bed for its warm, natural finish and simple turned legs - it brings a relaxed, unfussy feel to any room. It works particularly well in Scandi-inspired or modern-farmhouse schemes, but it’ll sit equally nicely in a pared-back coastal space or a soft, contemporary guestroom. To style it, layer crisp white linens with a textured throw in neutral tones and add a mix of cushions in muted greens or terracotta for warmth. Keep bedside tables light in wood or rattan and introduce a couple of leafy plants or simple framed prints to maintain that fresh, understated look.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
