6 Seater Dining Table Set in Carved Teak with Pedestal Base

The hardest measurement on a pedestal table is not the top. It is the foot.

A pedestal foot spreads outward to keep the table from tipping when someone leans on the edge - the wider it spreads, the steadier the table. But the floor it spreads across is exactly where six people want to put their feet, and a scrolled foot arriving under someone's shoe is a fault they will feel at every meal for twenty years.

So we set the foot from the chairs, not from the table. The chair positions are laid out around the intended top, a seated depth is marked in from each chair, and the foot is drawn to finish inside that line at every point where a diner sits. On a canted-corner top like this one, the corners are where the geometry is tightest, and the scrolls are shaped to reach out between the seats rather than toward them.

Where a client wants a longer top than the standard spread would carry, we widen the foot along the length of the table only - the direction where nobody sits - and keep it tucked in across the width.

It is why we ask how many chairs you want before we draw the base, rather than after.

Set: one dining table and six chairs, made together as one commission.

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

Top: canted corners with a carved frieze below the edge.

Base: single turned and carved pedestal on a carved scrolled foot, drawn to clear the seated positions of every chair.

Chairs: shaped carved crests, upholstered back panels and upholstered seats.

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

Finish: hand-applied ivory with gold-picked carving; walnut, natural teak, silver and ebonised also available.

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

Configuration: chair count, side chairs or carvers, and table length all specified by you.

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

The set is crated as a table and six chairs, each piece wrapped individually rather than stacked. Chairs are never nested inside one another, because a carved crest pressing into an upholstered seat is the commonest way a set arrives marked.

Each upholstered panel is covered in soft non-abrasive sheeting first. The carved crests, the pedestal foot scrolls and the table's carved frieze are then padded with foam formed around each shape.

The tabletop travels face-protected with a rigid board over its full surface, and the pedestal foot - the part that projects furthest and takes the most handling - is boxed separately in shaped foam. Bubble wrap, corrugated shells and outer crates cut to each piece follow, with corner protection throughout.

Unpack the chairs first and the table last, so there is floor space to set each piece down. 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, putting it right is our cost, and we commit to that before you order.

The set is made to order, so production begins once the table size, chair count, fabric and finish are confirmed in writing. Table and chairs are made together and dispatched together, so the finishes match across every piece.

We share the schedule at confirmation and update you as carving, upholstery and finishing 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 each piece. Dining tables are the awkward item for access, so send us your doorway, lift and stair measurements at the order stage and we set the top size to a dimension that will actually reach the room.

Every frame in the set - the table and all six chairs - carries a 20-year warranty on solid teak frame and joinery. Dining chairs are the hardest-worked furniture in a house, pushed, dragged and leaned back on daily, so their joints are corner-blocked and covered on the same terms as the table.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs alongside it on every piece, resting on teak's own oils rather than on any applied treatment. It is 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 any piece, send photographs and we arrange repair or replacement of that piece rather than asking you to send back the whole set.

Upholstery and hand-applied finishes are wearing surfaces and are handled separately, but we re-cover and re-finish our own furniture at any age. Because your specification is on file, a single damaged chair can be rebuilt years later to match the other five exactly.
