Centre Table for Living Room in Carved Teak with Wood Top

The pattern on this top is not a pattern anyone drew. It is one piece of teak, opened out four times.

A board sawn from a log has a mirror image of itself in the next board down - the same grain, the same figure, reversed. Open the two like the pages of a book and the figure meets along the joint and continues across it. Do it with four consecutive leaves, arranged around a centre point, and the figure radiates outward from the middle of the table like a sunburst.

What it requires is discipline in the timber yard. The leaves have to come from the same board, in sequence, kept in order from the moment they are cut - once the stack is shuffled the match is gone and cannot be recovered from anywhere else. On a workshop floor with several jobs running, that means labelling and setting aside a whole board months before it is needed.

Then the joints. Four leaves meeting at a centre point make four joint lines converging on one spot, and every one has to be dead tight - because the eye is drawn to exactly that point and will find any gap there first.

Structure: solid teak throughout, hand-carved by master Indian artisans, with traditional joinery at every junction.

Top: four book-matched teak leaves radiating from the centre, inside a moulded painted border.

Body: silver-grey hand finish with gilded scroll tracery along the front and sides.

Drawer: set into one end, running on timber bearings. Layout and number set by you.

Apron: deep carved and pierced apron below the body.

Feet: four carved scroll feet.

Finish: hand-applied silver-grey with gilded carving and a polished timber top. Both tones are set by you.

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

A polished timber top is the surface most likely to be marked in transit, so it is covered first and given a rigid panel over its face bearing on the painted border rather than on the polished field.

The drawer travels closed, padded in its opening and held with a soft restraint that leaves no residue.

The gilded tracery on the body gets a continuous foam strip along each run, and the pierced apron has foam fitted into its openings so the carved bridges cannot flex. The scroll feet get deep collars, since they project and sit lowest. A soft non-abrasive layer covers the painted surfaces throughout - a hand-applied grey scuffs where a wax polish would only dull. Corrugated panels build a rigid shell, the base is blocked and braced, and the outer carton is edge-reinforced. Everything unwraps by hand.

Free PAN-India delivery is included in the price - no zone rates, no distance surcharge, no freight line at checkout. The table costs the same delivered to Bareilly as to Belagavi.

Dent-free arrival is guaranteed. It leaves in multi-layer protective packaging, travels with handlers briefed on polished and painted finishes, and is checked at every transfer point. If anything is not right when you open it, tell us and we make it right - the guarantee sits with us, not with the transporter.

Because the table is made to order, production begins once your size, drawer layout and finish tones are confirmed in writing. Setting aside and matching boards for the top adds time at the front of the process, so we give you a realistic timeline rather than an optimistic one, and send a dispatch note with an expected delivery window.

The solid teak structure and its joinery carry a 20-year warranty - the top and its frame, the body, the drawer box and its runners, the pierced apron and the scroll feet. If a joint opens or a member fails within those twenty years, we repair or replace it.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs alongside it and never expires. Teak's natural oils are what termites avoid, and our seasoning and finishing routine is built around preserving them, so the timber is guaranteed for as long as the table is yours.

A book-matched top is the part of this table that could never be replaced like for like, since the matching boards no longer exist once the piece is made. That is one reason the frame warranty matters: keeping the structure sound is what keeps that top flat and whole. All of it is built from start to finish in our own workshop by the master Indian artisans who make everything we sell, from timber we season ourselves.
