Console Table with Mirror in Gilded Teak with Carved Apron

The distance between the top of a console and the bottom of its mirror is a small number that decides whether the pair looks right.

Too much gap and they read as two separate objects that happen to share a wall - the eye sees console, then blank wall, then mirror. Too little and the mirror appears to be resting on the table, which makes the whole arrangement look like it has slipped down. The working range is roughly a hand's width to a hand and a half above the top: close enough to read as one composition, far enough to breathe.

Width matters just as much. A mirror noticeably wider than the console below it looks unsupported; noticeably narrower and the console looks like it has outgrown it. Somewhere between two-thirds and just under the full width is where it settles.

Because we make both pieces together, those relationships are set on the drawing rather than discovered on the wall. Tell us the wall length and the ceiling height at enquiry and we scale the console, the mirror and the gap between them as one design - which is the whole advantage of ordering the pair rather than matching two bought separately.

Frames: solid teak throughout on both pieces, hand-carved by master Indian artisans, with traditional joinery at every junction.

Console top: shaped glass with polished edges. Stone or solid timber tops can be specified instead.

Console apron: pierced scrolling acanthus with a carved central cartouche.

Console legs: carved cabriole legs joined by a shaped lower shelf.

Mirror: fully pierced carved frame with a pierced crest, holding a shaped mirror plate.

Finish: hand-applied gold on both pieces, gilded in the same batch. Silver, champagne, antiqued tones or plain polished teak are also available.

Size: custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production, for both pieces and the gap between them.

The mirror and the console travel in separate cartons, and the mirror plate travels fitted rather than loose - it is captured in its frame, faced with a soft pad and a rigid card so nothing can flex against it.

Both pieces are pierced almost throughout, so foam is fitted into the larger openings of the console apron and the mirror frame alike, holding the carved bridges so they cannot move. Foam frames run around the outer edges of both.

The console's glass top travels flat in its own protection, edge-guarded on all sides. The cabriole knees, scrolled feet and the mirror crest each get shaped collars. A soft non-abrasive layer covers all the gilded surfaces first. Corrugated panels build rigid shells, bases are blocked and braced, and every outer carton is edge-reinforced. Everything unwraps by hand.

Free PAN-India delivery covers both pieces and the glass - no zone rates, no distance surcharge, no fragile surcharge. The set costs the same delivered to Kolkata as to Kozhikode.

Dent-free arrival is guaranteed on every carton. They leave in multi-layer protective packaging, travel with handlers briefed on mirror, glass and pierced gilded carving, and are checked at each transfer point. If anything is not right when you open any of them, tell us and we make it right - the guarantee sits with us, not with the transporter.

Because the set is made to order, production begins once your wall measurements, sizes and finish are confirmed in writing. Send the wall length and ceiling height at enquiry so the console, the mirror and the gap between them can be scaled as one design. You get a realistic timeline and a dispatch note with an expected delivery window.

Both frames carry a 20-year warranty on the solid teak and its joinery - the console's top frame, pierced apron, legs and shelf, and the mirror's carved frame and its joints. 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 on both pieces, with no end date. 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 set is yours.

A fully pierced mirror frame is the part owners ask about, since it looks fragile. It is carved from solid teak with the bridges sized as structure rather than ornament, and it is covered like everything else. All of it is built in our own workshop by the master Indian artisans who make everything we sell, from timber we season ourselves.
