Carved Bedside Table in Ivory Teak with Floral Relief Drawers

The floral spray on the two lower drawers is one design across two separate moving parts, and there is only one way to carve it so that it actually lines up.

Carve each drawer front on its own bench, working from the same drawing, and the two halves will not meet. A leaf that crosses the joint will be a fraction higher on one front than the other; a stem will step sideways; the relief will be slightly deeper on whichever was carved second. Closed, the drawers will show a design that does not quite join - and on a bedside chest, at eye level when you are lying down, that is exactly what you will notice.

So the two fronts are fitted to their drawers, then clamped together in the carcass in their closed positions, and the design is drawn and carved across both as though they were one board. The carver works over the joint continuously, never stopping at it.

Only when the relief is complete are the drawers separated, and each half is then cleaned up on its own drawer with the pattern already established.

Close them and the spray is whole. It is the closing that the piece is carved for.

Material: solid teak in the carcass, drawer boxes, drawer fronts, corner scrolls, apron and feet.

Front: bombe - curved across the width and forward down the height.

Drawers: three full-width drawers on side runners with stops.

Carving: fretted border and bouquet to the top drawer; one large floral relief carved across the two lower drawers as a single design; corner leaf scrolls; carved garland to the apron.

Feet: shaped and carved scroll feet.

Finish: ivory ground with warm gold applied by hand to the raised carving.

Made to order: height, width, depth, drawer count and finish are all customisable. Custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

All three drawers are removed and wrapped individually, then packed in a compartmented box in their marked order, so the runners carry no load in transit and the carved fronts never rub against one another.

The carcass is wrapped in acid-free tissue directly against the ivory finish, then foam sheet, then bubble wrap, with rigid board across the top surface.

The carved corner scrolls and the shaped feet project furthest and are the parts that catch in a doorway, so each is individually foam-blocked. The hanging garland on the apron is given foam pressed around it rather than across it.

The chest ships in a hardwood crate with corner protection at every arris and orientation and lift markings.

Multi-layer protective packaging is included on every order at no extra cost.

Delivery is free anywhere in India, with guaranteed dent-free arrival. No distance charge, no size charge and no handling fee.

Production begins once your dimensions are confirmed in writing - and for a bedside chest we ask the height of your bed so the top sits at a comfortable reach. We photograph your actual chest through the build, including the two lower drawers clamped together while the floral relief is carved across them.

On site, our team places and levels the chest and refits each drawer in its marked position, then checks the carving lines up across the closed fronts.

Send us lift dimensions, stair turns and doorway widths ahead of dispatch so the route can be planned. Every photograph on this page is of the actual product, not a render.

The solid teak frame and joinery carry a 20-year warranty - the carcass, the drawer boxes, the apron and the feet, along with every joint between them.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs with the chest and never expires. Teak's own oils are its first protection and our warranty stands behind them.

Drawer runners and hardware are covered against manufacturing defect.

Because the lower two drawer fronts were carved as one design, they belong to each other and to their openings - and that is recorded against your order number along with the ivory and gold finish. If service work is ever needed, the fronts go back where they came from. Contact us with your order number and we will arrange it.
