Dinner Set Cabinet in Ivory and Gold with Painted Pediment

The little painted medallions on the drawer fronts are composed as a set, not as individual panels, and that is why the drawers are numbered on their backs before they are ever painted.

Painted individually and fitted in any order, a row of medallions looks restless. One has more red than its neighbours, one is composed a little tighter, one has a highlight falling from the other side. Nothing is wrong with any of them and the row still looks unsettled.

So our painter works the whole row at once, laid out on the bench in the order they will occupy. The palette is mixed once for all of them. The light in every medallion is made to fall from the same direction. Weight is distributed across the row - a busier medallion is placed where a quieter one balances it, and the strongest is kept for the centre.

Once the row is right, each drawer is marked on the back with its position, and it goes into that opening and no other. Fit them in a different order and the composition the painter built simply comes apart.

Material: solid teak in the carcass, door frames, drawer boxes, pediment, mouldings and feet.

Display section: four glazed bays with tall arched doors glazed in single panes, glass shelves on concealed supports, pale finished interior.

Lighting: internal lighting built in, wired concealed within the carcass.

Centre: section stepped back from the outer bays, with a hand-painted pediment above and a bank of small drawers below.

Drawers: painted medallion fronts, composed as a set and fitted to their marked positions.

Carving: carved crests, capitals, arched door heads, mouldings and paw feet.

Finish: ivory ground with gold applied by hand to carving and mouldings.

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

The painted work sets the packing method here. Acid-free tissue goes directly onto the pediment and every painted drawer front before anything else, because nothing textured may sit against paint.

Drawers are removed, individually wrapped, and packed in their marked order in a compartmented box, so they go back into the right openings on installation.

The tall arched doors are unhung and crated flat, panes taped across the face and foam-sleeved, with the arched heads bedded in foam cut to their shape.

The carcass is wrapped tissue-first, then foam sheet, then bubble wrap, with extra padding at the stepped centre section and along the carved capitals.

The carved crests and paw feet are boxed individually with foam moulded around each profile, and the glass shelves ship in a slotted box with dividers.

Hardwood crates, corner protection, orientation marking. Multi-layer protective packaging is included with every order at no extra cost.

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

Production begins once your dimensions and shelf spacings are confirmed in writing - and on this cabinet the shelf spacings matter, so we ask what your service consists of before we set them. We photograph your actual cabinet through the build, including the drawer medallions laid out as a row before they are fitted.

On site, our team places and levels the cabinet, connects and tests the lighting, hangs the doors, fits the glass shelves, and installs each drawer in its marked position.

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 door frames, the arched heads, the drawer boxes and every joint between them.

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

Glass, shelves, drawer runners, hardware and the internal lighting are covered against manufacturing defect.

The painted pediment and the drawer medallions are the work of one hand and are recorded against your order, along with the ivory and gold finishes - so if a panel is ever to be refreshed, it is matched to what was actually painted rather than reinterpreted. Contact us with your order number and we will arrange it.
