Bedside Table in Carved Teak - White with Dark Top and Two Drawers

The carved acanthus leaf standing at each front corner of this table is doing something less obvious than decorating it.

Look at where it sits. It begins at the top of the carcass, runs down the corner, and continues onto the knee of the leg beneath. That means it crosses the single most vulnerable point on any small table - the junction where a leg meets the case - and it crosses it visually as one continuous shape.

There is a reason cabinetmakers put ornament exactly there. A bedside table lives in a corridor of movement: it gets knocked by knees, brushed past in the dark, pushed aside when the bed is made. The corner takes all of it. Building up a carved leaf on that corner adds real timber section where the impact lands, and it means a scuff falls on a modelled surface where it disappears rather than on a sharp arris where it shows as a bright line forever.

Our carvers work each leaf after the case and leg are joined, so the carving runs across the joint rather than stopping at it. The leaf tips are left slightly thicker than a purely decorative carving would be - a small compromise on delicacy, made deliberately, because this is a piece that will be touched every single day for decades.

Material: Solid teak throughout - carcass, top, both drawer boxes, legs and carved mounts. No veneer over engineered board.

Construction: Hand-carved acanthus corner mounts worked across the case-to-leg joint, carved shell and scroll apron, hand-shaped cabriole legs with scrolled toes, jointed solid teak drawer boxes.

Storage: Two drawers. Counts, depths and internal fittings are configurable.

Finish: White body with a contrasting dark top, as photographed. Any pairing or a single tone can be specified.

Height: Built to your bed height rather than to a standard.

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

Available: Singly or as a matched pair.

Made: Handcrafted Indian luxury, produced to order by master Indian artisans.

Small furniture is handled more often than large furniture, not less - it gets carried, set down, restacked and moved by hand at every stage - so this table is packed for handling rather than for a single careful lift.

The whole piece is wrapped in a soft non-abrasive layer laid directly onto the finish, chosen so it will not burnish the pale body or mark the dark top. Shaped foam goes over that, with additional thickness across the carved acanthus corners and the shell apron, which stand proudest.

Each cabriole leg is sleeved individually along its curve, and every scrolled toe gets its own rigid guard - the toes sit lowest and meet trolley edges and doorframes first.

Both drawers are removed or secured shut so nothing can run out and strike a front.

The table then goes inside a rigid outer carton, braced internally so it cannot shift. Ordered as a pair, each table is packed and crated separately rather than boxed together. Dent-free arrival is guaranteed.

Free delivery is included anywhere in India, with no distance surcharge and no fee added at the end. Metros, tier-two cities and smaller towns are served on the same terms, and a pair ships on the same free terms as a single table.

Production begins once your dimensions - bed height included - drawer layout, finish pairing and carving depth are confirmed in writing. We give you a clear timeline then and keep you updated as the piece moves through joinery, carving, drawer building and finishing.

We dispatch through carriers experienced with carved solid wood furniture, and send tracking details as soon as it leaves us.

On arrival our team brings the table in, positions it, checks the drawers run cleanly and removes all packaging. Dent-free arrival is guaranteed - if anything is not right, tell us and we will resolve it.

The solid teak frame and joinery carry a 20-year warranty - the carcass, both drawer boxes, every leg joint and the carved mounts.

On a bedside table the leg joints are what the guarantee really rests on. A small four-legged case takes sideways knocks constantly, and those loads all arrive at the four points where the legs meet the carcass. Ours are cut into solid teak rather than dowelled into panel, and the carved corner mounts add section exactly there.

The drawers are covered on the same terms. Each is a jointed solid teak box with solid sides and back, which is why nightly use across decades sits inside the warranty rather than outside it.

The teak carries a lifetime warranty against termite damage for as long as you own the piece, from the oils in the timber rather than the paint over them.

If anything covered needs attention, send us your order details and photographs and our artisans will arrange the repair or replacement.
