Dressing Table with Large Mirror in Carved Teak - White and Gold Console

Putting a large mirror over a small table is a balancing problem before it is a decorative one. The visual mass sits high and the support sits low and narrow, and if that relationship is handled carelessly the whole arrangement looks precarious even when it is perfectly safe.

The solution is in the frame's outline. Notice that the openwork does not simply stop at the sides - it sweeps outward and downward at the lower corners, dropping toward the console and widening the base of the composition exactly where the eye is looking for support. The frame is drawn to have shoulders at the top and feet at the bottom, so it reads as standing rather than as floating above the table.

Physically it is anchored too. A mirror at this scale is fixed back to the wall rather than resting on the console alone, which is why the table beneath can stay as slim as it is. Our team fits that anchoring on delivery.

The third element is the gold. Because the gilding runs on the frame, the apron and the legs but not on the table body, the eye connects the mirror to the legs directly and reads a continuous structure passing behind the plain white console - which is precisely the impression the design is built to give.

Material: Solid teak throughout - console, drawer boxes, top, legs and mirror frame. No veneer over engineered board.

Construction: Hand-carved gilt drawer panel, foliate apron spray and cabriole legs with scrolled feet; fully pierced openwork mirror frame with carved crest and shouldered lower corners.

Storage: One wide centre drawer and one drawer at each side. Counts, depths and internal fittings are configurable.

Mirror: Oversized rectangular glass with rounded corners, wall-anchored, in a gilded openwork frame. Any size and outline can be built.

Finish: White body with gold-leafed carving as photographed. Any tone and gilding level can be specified.

Dimensions: Custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

Made: Handcrafted Indian luxury, produced to order by master Indian artisans.

An oversized openwork mirror is the largest fragile object we ship, and it travels entirely on its own. A rigid board is fitted behind the full frame so no scroll can flex anywhere across its span, the glass is faced, and contoured foam bears only on the frame body - every projecting curl, the crest and the shouldered lower corners sit clear in air, because burnished gilding marks under pressure long before wood does.

Wall fixings are bagged, labelled and packed with it so nothing is hunted for on delivery day.

The console is wrapped in a soft, lint-free layer laid on without tension, then foamed with extra thickness over the gilded apron spray and the carved drawer panel. Each cabriole leg is sleeved individually along its full curve, with the scrolled foot given its own rigid guard.

All three drawers are removed or secured shut so nothing can slide and strike a gilded front.

Both crates are rigid and internally braced. Dent-free arrival is guaranteed, and our team installs the set in your room.

Free delivery is included anywhere in India, with no distance surcharge and nothing added at the end. Metros, tier-two cities and smaller towns are covered on the same terms.

Production begins once your console dimensions, mirror size and outline, drawer layout, finish and gilding level are confirmed in writing. Gilding needs curing time between stages, so we give you an honest timeline then and keep you updated as the pieces move through carving, painting, gilding and finishing.

We dispatch through carriers experienced with gilded, carved and mirrored furniture, and send tracking details as soon as the set leaves us.

On arrival our team positions and levels the console, anchors the mirror securely to your wall at the height you want, checks the alignment between the two and removes every piece of packaging. Dent-free arrival is guaranteed - tell us if anything is not right and we will resolve it.

The solid teak frame and joinery carry a 20-year warranty - the console carcass, all three drawer boxes, the carved legs, the apron and the mirror frame.

The legs deserve attention within that. A console this slim carries its load through two shaped cabriole legs at the front, and each is carved from solid teak so the curve follows the grain rather than cutting across it. That is what allows a leg to be shaped, gilded and still guaranteed for two decades.

The openwork mirror frame is covered on the same basis. Every scroll is cut from solid stock with the grain planned along the load path, so the pierced frame holds itself as one continuous structure rather than as separate parts glued together.

The teak carries a lifetime warranty against termite damage for as long as you own the set, from the oils in the timber rather than the paint or leaf above them.

If anything covered needs attention, send us your order details and photographs and our artisans will arrange the repair or replacement.
