Dressing Table with Oval Mirror in Solid Teak - Turned Legs and Stool

The two small drawer boxes standing on the top, one either side of the mirror, are older than they look. They are the descendants of glove boxes - little cases that sat on a dressing table to hold gloves, hairpins, rings and the small things a person reached for last before leaving a room.

They survive because of where they are rather than what they hold. A drawer set into the frieze of a table is below the top, which means reaching down and, if you are seated, leaning. A box standing on the top puts its drawer at the same height as your hands already are while you are dressing. The difference is a few inches and it is the difference between a drawer you use every day and one you forget about.

Building them separately rather than as part of the top is deliberate too. Each box is its own small case with its own jointed drawer, set onto the finished top, so the top stays a continuous unbroken surface underneath. That matters when something spills - there is no seam for liquid to run into.

It also means they can be positioned. Move them outward and the mirror gets more room; move them inward and the top gets clearer at the ends. On a made-to-order piece that is your decision rather than the design's.

Material: Solid teak throughout - top, frieze, all four drawer boxes, deck cases, mirror frame, turned posts, legs and stool frame. No veneer over engineered board.

Construction: Hand-turned tapered legs and mirror posts with cut rings, oval mirror on brass pivots, separate deck drawer cases set onto a continuous top, jointed solid teak drawer boxes.

Storage: Two deck drawers and two frieze drawers. Counts, depths, positions and internal fittings are configurable.

Mirror: Oval glass on pivots, tilting to any angle. Any shape or size can be built.

Finish: Soft mid-brown with the grain left visible, as photographed. Any tone and sheen can be specified.

Stool: Deep-buttoned upholstered seat on matching turned legs, included. Fabric is your choice.

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

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

The mirror, both turned posts and the pivot fittings come off the table and travel in a separate crate. The glass is faced, the oval frame padded around its full circumference, and the brass fittings bagged and labelled so nothing is searched for on delivery day.

The two deck boxes lift off and are packed individually as small units, each with its drawer secured.

The table is wrapped in a soft non-abrasive layer laid straight onto the finish, then covered in shaped foam. Each turned leg is sleeved along its full length, with extra padding at the rings and at the narrow ankle above the foot - on a turned leg those are the points where a knock shows first.

Both frieze drawers are removed or secured shut so nothing can slide out and strike the frame.

The stool travels in its own box with the buttoned seat covered and each turned leg padded separately. Everything then goes into rigid, internally braced outer cartons. Dent-free arrival is guaranteed, and our team assembles 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 served on the same terms.

Production begins once your dimensions, drawer arrangement, mirror shape, finish and stool fabric are confirmed in writing. We give you a clear timeline at that point and keep you updated as the set moves through turning, drawer building, assembly and finishing.

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

On arrival our team positions and levels the table, sets the deck boxes where you want them, fits the posts and mirror and checks the tilt holds, places the stool and removes every piece of packaging. Dent-free arrival is guaranteed - if anything is not right, tell us and we will resolve it.

The solid teak frame and joinery carry a 20-year warranty - the top, the frieze, all four drawer boxes, both deck cases, every leg joint, the mirror frame and posts, and the stool.

On a piece with no ornament the joinery is the product, and that is exactly what this covers. The legs are turned from solid teak so the fibre runs unbroken through the taper; the drawer boxes are jointed with solid sides and backs; the deck cases are built as complete small carcasses rather than as trays fixed to the top.

The mirror pivots are covered too. Both posts are bored at the same marked height before turning begins, which is why the glass holds its angle instead of drifting.

The teak carries a lifetime warranty against termite damage for as long as you own the set, from the oils naturally in the timber.

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