4 Seater Dining Table in Solid Teak with Carved Pedestal Base

The diameter of a round dining table is not a matter of taste. It is arithmetic, and getting it wrong by a few inches is the difference between four people eating comfortably and four people apologising to each other with their elbows.

Each place setting needs a certain width of table edge - enough for a plate, a glass to its right and cutlery on both sides, without overlapping a neighbour's. On a circle, that width is an arc, and the number of arcs you can fit is set by the circumference. So we work backwards: the number of places you want, multiplied by the arc each one needs, gives the circumference, and the circumference gives the diameter. Not the other way round.

Then we check it against the room. If the arithmetic asks for a diameter the room cannot take with walking space around it, we say so at the drawing stage rather than building a table that seats four uncomfortably - and usually the answer is a slightly smaller table for four rather than a squeezed table for six.

The pedestal is then drawn inside that circle with the four seated positions marked, so the foot finishes clear of everyone's feet. It is why we ask how many people before we ask how big.

Set: one round dining table with four chairs, made together as one commission.

Frames: solid teak throughout, hand-carved by master Indian artisans.

Top: round, with a moulded edge over a plain frieze.

Base: carved pedestal with an acanthus-wrapped swelling column on a shaped moulded plinth, drawn to clear the seated positions.

Chairs: oval upholstered backs inside carved frames, with carved crests and shaped legs.

Upholstery: ivory woven cloth as photographed; any fabric or leather available.

Finish: hand-polished deep walnut with the grain left legible; lighter tones and painted finishes also available.

Joinery: mortise and tenon throughout, corner-blocked at every seat rail.

Sizing: diameter calculated from the number of places required, then checked against your room.

Dimensions: custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

The set travels as five separately crated pieces. Chairs are never nested, because a carved crest resting on an upholstered seat is the commonest cause of a marked set.

The round top is face-protected with a rigid board and edge-protected around its full circumference - a circle has no corner to absorb a knock on behalf of the rest, so the whole perimeter is treated as vulnerable.

The pedestal travels with its plinth, the carved column padded along its length and the plinth's moulded edges boxed in shaped foam. Each chair's upholstered panel is covered in soft non-abrasive sheeting and each carved crest padded to its shape.

Unpack the chairs first for floor space, then the base, then the top. Nothing needs dismantling and no fixing has to be undone.

Delivery is free anywhere in India for the whole set, and every piece is guaranteed to arrive dent-free. If anything is wrong when the crates are opened, correcting it is our cost, and we commit to that before you order.

Production begins once the diameter, chair count, upholstery and polish tone are confirmed in writing. Table and chairs are made together and dispatched together so the finish matches across every piece.

We share the schedule at confirmation and update you as carving, polishing and upholstery complete. Tracking follows as soon as the crates leave us, and our team agrees the delivery window with you directly.

Open the crates with the delivery team present and check every piece. A round top cannot be angled through a narrow doorway the way a rectangular one can, so send us your access measurements at the order stage and we set the diameter to a figure that will reach the room.

Every frame in the set carries a 20-year warranty on solid teak frame and joinery - the table, its pedestal and each of the four chairs on identical terms.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs on every piece, resting on teak's own oils rather than on an applied treatment, and issued in writing with the set.

Both documents are tied to your order and handed over on delivery, so the record stays with you. If a covered fault appears on one piece, send photographs and we repair or replace that piece alone.

Upholstery and polish are wearing surfaces and are handled separately from the structural cover. A solid timber top can be sanded back and re-polished to new condition, and we re-cover our own chairs at any age - with your specification on file, an extra chair added years later matches the original four.
