Console Table and Mirror Set in Carved Teak with White Marble

How far a marble top should overhang the frame beneath it is not a number anyone can give you, and treating it as one is why some marble-topped consoles look slightly wrong without the viewer being able to say why.

Too little overhang and the carved frame appears to be bursting out from under the stone. Too much and the top reads as a slab that happens to be resting there - borrowed, not built in.

Our master Indian artisans set it by shadow instead. Under any overhanging top there is a dark line where the stone shades the frame, and that line is what the eye actually reads. The overhang is adjusted until the shadow band is even in width all the way round the shaped front - which, because the front is serpentine and the light is not, means the projection is not constant. It is slightly greater where the front swells forward and slightly less where it returns.

The moulded edge of the stone is then profiled to sit in the same relationship to that shadow. The result is a top that looks grown out of the frame rather than laid on top of it.

Material: solid teak throughout, console and mirror frame, hand-carved. No veneer, no engineered board.

Console: shaped white marble top with a moulded edge, pierced apron with a gilded shell and cartouche at the centre, cabriole legs with gilded leaf falls, shaped stretcher with a carved centre.

Mirror: arched head with a gilded shell crest, beaded moulding round the opening, carved corner spandrels and a carved base rail.

Finish: warm brown polish showing the grain, with hand-applied gilding on the carved ornament, sealed for durability and matched across both pieces.

Sizes: custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production, including combined height.

Warranty: 20 years on the solid teak frames and joinery; lifetime cover against termite damage.

Photography: images show the actual product, not renders.

Console, mirror and marble travel as three separately packed items, because each fails in a different way and each needs a different kind of support.

The console is wrapped in a soft non-abrasive layer against the finish - important on a two-tone piece, where a rub shows on the polish as readily as on the gold - then in foam cut around the pierced apron, the gilded leaf falls and the carved feet rather than pressed onto them.

The mirror travels braced across its width, plate cushioned across its whole surface, with shaped supports on both faces of the shell crest and the corner spandrels.

The white marble goes flat on a padded board with guards along all four edges - a pale stone shows a chipped corner more plainly than a dark one, so the edges are guarded along their full run.

All three enter rigid outer crates and are strapped so nothing shifts. This is why dent-free arrival is guaranteed.

Delivery is free anywhere in India for the complete set - no freight charge, no distance surcharge, no difference between a metro address and a smaller town.

Every set is made to order, so production begins once your dimensions, marble, polish and gilding are confirmed in writing. We share the build timeline at that point and keep you updated through carving, polishing, gilding and marble fitting.

The crates travel together with a carrier used to handling carved furniture, stone and mirror glass, and you are contacted before delivery so someone can be present to receive and inspect everything.

Arrival is guaranteed dent-free. If transit damage occurs, photograph it with the delivery team present and contact us - we will resolve it. On site the marble is laid onto the console first and the mirror positioned above it. If you would like the mirror wall-secured, tell us before production and the fixings are built into the frame.

The solid teak frames and their joinery carry a 20-year warranty from the day the set reaches you. On the console that covers the leg joints, the pierced apron, the stretcher and the bed the marble sits on; on the mirror it covers the frame joints, the crest, the base rail and the rebate holding the plate.

Lifetime cover against termite damage applies to both pieces for the life of the furniture rather than a fixed term. Seasoned solid teak carries oils that termites avoid, and with both pieces built in teak throughout there is no board core anywhere for them to reach.

If a warranty issue arises, send photographs and we will assess and repair or replace. Because the two pieces were carved and finished from one drawing, any warranty work is matched back to that drawing, so a repair on one piece still agrees with the other. Both warranties apply anywhere in India and stay with the furniture.
