Gold Console Table Set in Carved Teak with Arched Mirror

The difficulty with a console and mirror set is not carving either one. It is making the eye read them as a single piece of furniture when they are two objects standing one on top of the other.

Our master Indian artisans set both out on one full-size drawing, on a common vertical centre line. The cartouche at the middle of the console apron, the boss on the stretcher and the crest at the top of the mirror all sit on that line, so the whole assembly has one spine running through it.

The second rule is width. The mirror's outer frame is deliberately drawn narrower than the console top, and its base rail narrower still, so the set tapers as it rises. Draw the mirror the same width as the console and the pair reads as a wall, not a piece.

The third is scale. Ornament near the floor is cut large and deep; the same motif on the mirror crest is cut smaller and shallower. Carved at equal scale, the upper piece looks heavy and appears to lean forward. Stepping the scale down is what makes the arch look like it is rising.

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

Console: shaped top with moulded gilded edge, full-width pierced apron with a central cartouche, carved heads at the leg heads, four cabriole legs and a shaped stretcher with a carved boss.

Mirror: arched frame in pierced scrollwork with a carved crest, standing on a carved base rail.

Finish: hand-applied gilding throughout, sealed for durability, matched between the two pieces.

Sizes: custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production, including the combined height of console and mirror.

Made to order: both pieces built to your dimensions from one drawing.

Warranty: 20 years on the solid teak frames and joinery; lifetime cover against termite damage.

The two pieces are packed separately, because they fail in different ways. The console's risk is impact on projecting carving; the mirror's risk is flex across a large, thin frame with glass in it.

The console is wrapped first in a soft non-abrasive layer laid against the gilding, then in foam shaped around the pierced apron, the carved heads and the scrolled toes rather than pressed flat against them. The stretcher boss gets its own block.

The mirror travels face-protected, with the plate cushioned across its whole surface and the pierced crest - the most fragile element in the set - packed with shaped supports on both faces so it cannot rock. The frame is braced across its width so it cannot flex during handling.

Both then go into rigid outer crates, strapped so nothing shifts. This multi-layer protective packaging is why we guarantee dent-free arrival. Please unpack both pieces while the delivery team is present.

Delivery is free anywhere in India, for both pieces. No freight charge, no surcharge for distance, no difference between a metro address and a smaller town.

The set is made to order, so production begins once your dimensions - console and mirror - are confirmed in writing. We share the timeline then and keep you updated through carving, gilding and mirror fitting.

The two crates are dispatched together with a carrier used to handling carved furniture and mirror glass, and you are contacted before delivery so someone can be present to receive and inspect both.

Arrival is guaranteed dent-free. If transit damage occurs, photograph it with the delivery team present and contact us - we will resolve it. The mirror is designed to stand on the console rather than requiring wall fixing, though it can be wall-secured if you prefer; tell us and we will build the fixings in.

Both pieces in the set carry the same cover. The solid teak frames and every joint in them are warranted for 20 years - the console's legs, apron and stretcher joints, and the mirror frame's joints and its base rail - from the date the set reaches you.

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 will not touch, and neither piece has a board core for them to reach.

If something covered goes wrong, send photographs and we will assess it. Because the set was carved and gilded to one drawing, any warranty work is matched to that drawing too, so a repair on the mirror still agrees with the console beneath it. Both warranties apply anywhere in India and stay with the furniture rather than with the original buyer.
