What is a burl in wood?

A burl in wood is a growth on a tree formed from bud tissue that has not sprouted. The burl forms large, knobby-looking growths on the base and trunk of the tree. Every piece of burl wood is unique, which is one reason they are considered rare and valuable. They come in a variety of sizes and have varying wood textures and colors. Find a collection of antique and vintage burl wood furniture on 1stDibs today.

Burled wood is wood with a unique grain characteristic that results from harvesting a tree that has a burl. A burl is a tree growth often caused by injury, fungus, virus, or insects. The stress from the growth causes pressure on the wood and creates intense grain patterns.

What is a burl wood table?

A burl wood table is a piece of furniture crafted out of wood burls, growths on trees that have unique grain patterns. Because of the character of the wood, no two are ever completely identical. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of burl wood tables.

Is burl wood timeless?

Whether burl wood is timeless is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, burl wood became popular during the Art Deco and Regency eras, and furniture designers have continued to use it to produce pieces ever since then. This owes largely to the material’s range of organic shapes and knots, which add richness and distinct visual appeal. On 1stDibs, find a range of burl wood furniture.

How much is burl wood worth?

Burl wood's worth depends on the quality and the size of the wood. Depending on the size and condition, a larger-eyed burl would cost around $25 to $200. Layered burls are not of much value. On 1stDibs, find a range of alluring antique and vintage burl wood furniture today.

Finding the Right Beds-frames for You

We find relaxation and solace in our bedrooms, which are often the most cherished rooms of a home. Your antique, new or vintage bed and bed frame are integral to this oasis of personal comfort.

Beds and bed frames have long been an important part of the sanctuary that is the bedroom. For the upper class in countries such as England, the massive, costly beds of the 16th and 17th centuries were decorative and of the poster variety. Some were characterized by large painted wooden headboards, often made of oak, that featured ornate carvings and richly colored curtains affixed to each of the two or four posts — think of today’s sumptuous upholstered headboards as a distant cousin to these luxurious furnishings. The heavy fabric curtains were drawn across a fringed canopy to close out the sunlight that might’ve warmed your grandiose and opulent bedchambers. This feature could also offer privacy as desired, because, as we all know, a bedroom is for more than just sleeping.

Coiled springs didn’t make their way into mattresses until the 1800s, which likely made for a far more comfortable night’s sleep for many. Bed frames of cast iron and brass were introduced during the mid- to late-19th century. Later, the 20th century brought with it marvelous innovations for slumberland, among them daybeds from the likes of George Nelson and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich as well as convertible sofa beds.

Today, you will find a range of beds geared toward your individual personality and preferred style of decor. When shopping for a bed and bed frame, keep in mind that you’ve got options. Sizes range from twin to California king. At 76 inches wide and 80 inches long, a king-size bed is roughly 16 inches wider than a queen-size mattress, and your bed frame will likely add two to five inches to each side. (The California king bed is 84 inches long.)

From dramatic bedroom designs to uncomplicated, minimalist approaches, the bedroom has evolved into the haven that it should be: a peaceful place of respite, where we begin and end every day. Take the time to create your very own oasis — you deserve it. Rest easy with an expansive collection of antique, new and vintage beds and bed frames available on 1stDibs.

What is burled wood?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
Burled wood is wood with a unique grain characteristic that results from harvesting a tree that has a burl. A burl is a tree growth often caused by injury, fungus, virus, or insects. The stress from the growth causes pressure on the wood and creates intense grain patterns.
What is a burl wood table?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023

Is burl wood timeless?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
Whether burl wood is timeless is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, burl wood became popular during the Art Deco and Regency eras, and furniture designers have continued to use it to produce pieces ever since then. This owes largely to the material’s range of organic shapes and knots, which add richness and distinct visual appeal. On 1stDibs, find a range of burl wood furniture.
How much is burl wood worth?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
Burl wood's worth depends on the quality and the size of the wood. Depending on the size and condition, a larger-eyed burl would cost around $25 to $200. Layered burls are not of much value. On 1stDibs, find a range of alluring antique and vintage burl wood furniture today.
