NEW YORK, July 27, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tonight, as the Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony commences, all eyes are on London. In addition to watching Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte duke it out in the pool, American audiences will be treated to television coverage about the British lifestyle. From finding the best fish and chips to the latest fashion trends of Soho or searching Portobello Market for antique gems, NBC will do its best to bring London culture to US fans.
Those interested in bringing a bit of London's style into their homes can now tap into the vast array of styles available through Charles P. Rogers, makers of fine beds and bedding since 1855. "Yanks" can embrace their inner Brit and rejuvenate the bedroom with a few simple touches that won't cost as much as a trip to the Olympics.
In 1851, at the Great Exhibition, British manufacturers first introduced brass beds to consumers with the display of Queen Victoria's brass bed. The exhibit drew crowds who waited 4 hours to see their Queen's bed. In 1855, influenced by these events Charles P. Rogers opened his workshop and storefront in New York City to hand build brass beds for Americans. In 1870, he expanded his customers' selections with imports from prominent British manufacturer Fisher Brown & Co. Staying true to Rogers' long commitment to English designs, the Hyde Park Bed is a four-poster brass bed that reinvents its 19th-century English heritage. The handcrafted bed features pure brass tubing and solid brass casting that echoes the classic fixtures originally "fit for a Queen". Add the White Linen and Prima Cotton Bedding ensemble, which includes a crisp white European duvet cover and shams, as well as 400 thread count Prima sheets for an updated, fresh look, and you'll feel as though you've retired to a suite in the famed Hyde Park hotel, The Lanesborough.
New Design Introductions
London is the gateway to Europe, serving as an epicenter where the past and future collide. While it is home to iconic churches such as Westminster Abbey that have stood for centuries, it also prides itself on modern design from the creative minds of award-winning designers like Kelly Hoppen. For those craving that ultra-contemporary British flavor, Charles P. Rogers offers the new Linen Pavilion Platform Bed at a fraction of the price. The carefully detailed headboard and matching rails are upholstered in 100% cream linen and features hand-tufted buttons and welts. The sophisticated finish lends a luxurious feel reminiscent Bond Street.
The new Raul Leather Platform Bed highlights London's old-world charm, with its rich, dark chocolate leather upholstery and elegant detailing. The headboard and matching rails are covered in full-grain vintage brown leather and finished with tufted buttons. The squared edges and sleek lines echo the modern art deco feel of Claridge's famed Reading Room. Just as is done in the intimate dining space in one of London's oldest luxury hotels, pair the Raul bed with elegant mirrors, touches of suede and chrome fixtures.
