Gold Console Table in Carved Teak with Dark Marble and Mirror

Marble is chosen twice. Once for its colour, which everyone thinks about, and once for the direction of its veining, which almost nobody does - and the second choice matters more on a long top than the first.

Veining in a slab runs in a direction, and when a top is cut from it that direction is decided by how the piece is laid out on the block. Cut so the veins run across the width of the table and they read as a series of bars, dividing a long top into segments; the eye stops at each one and the table looks shorter and busier than it is. Cut so the veins run along the length and they carry the eye from one end to the other, and the top reads as a single unbroken surface.

So our master Indian artisans lay the template on the slab with the veining running lengthwise before anything is cut, and where a slab has a strong figure, the template is positioned so the most striking passage falls at the centre front - the part of the top nearest the person standing at it.

The offcut is not the waste. The layout is.

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

Console: pierced scroll and leaf apron with a carved central shell, cabriole legs with carved feet, shaped stretcher with a larger carved shell at the crossing.

Top: dark marble slab laid out with the veining running lengthwise, with a hand-moulded edge following the shaped front.

Mirror: wide shaped frame with a scrolled outline swelling at both sides, shell crest above and a carved apron beneath the plate.

Finish: hand-applied gilding over the carved teak, sealed for durability, 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.

Three items, three packings. The console frame is wrapped first in a soft non-abrasive layer against the gilding, then in foam cut to sit around the pierced apron, the central shell and the carved feet rather than pressed onto them. The stretcher shell is given its own shaped housing.

The mirror is wide, so it travels braced across its full span - a wide frame flexes at the middle if it is only supported at the ends. The plate is cushioned across its whole surface, and the shell crest and the lower apron are supported on both faces so neither can rock.

The marble goes flat on a padded board with guards along all four edges, packed apart from both frames so nothing rests on the stone.

All three enter rigid outer crates with cushioning on every face and are strapped so nothing shifts. This multi-layer protective packaging is why dent-free arrival is guaranteed.

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

Every set is made to order, so production begins once your dimensions, marble and gilding are confirmed in writing. We share the timeline at that point and keep you updated through carving, gilding, stone layout 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 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 connections and the bed the marble sits on; on the mirror it covers the frame joints, the shell crest, the lower apron 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 number of years. Seasoned solid teak carries oils that termites avoid, and with both pieces built in teak throughout there is no board core anywhere for insects to reach.

If a warranty issue arises, send photographs and we will assess and repair or replace. Carved elements are re-cut from solid teak and re-gilded to match the surrounding work. Both warranties apply anywhere in India and stay with the furniture rather than the original buyer.
