Hand Painted Dining Table Set in Carved Teak with Gilded Chairs

The two painted areas on this table are not painted separately, and that is a decision made before a brush is loaded.

The garland round the top and the posy on the pedestal panel are the same flowers, and if they are painted at different times from different references they diverge - the roses on the base end up a shade cooler, the leaves a different shape, and the table reads as two pieces of decoration that happen to share a colour. It is exactly the sort of thing nobody can name and everybody senses.

So our painter sets both pieces up together and works from one arrangement, moving between the top and the base rather than finishing one and then starting the other. The same mixed colours are used on both while they are still on the palette, so the greens and the pinks are literally identical rather than matched.

The painting goes on after the ground has fully cured and before the clear coats, so it sits inside the finish rather than on top of it. That is what makes it durable on a dining surface - a wipe cleans the table without touching the flowers, because there is finish between the cloth and the paint.

Then it is signed on the underside of the top, where it will still be there in fifty years.

Set: one round dining table with revolving centre and chairs, made together as one commission.

Frames: solid teak throughout, hand-carved by master Indian artisans.

Painting: hand painted by an artist onto the cured ground and sealed under clear coats; the top garland and the base posy are painted together from one arrangement using the same mixed colours.

Top: round, with a gilded moulded edge over a painted frieze and a revolving centre.

Base: painted pedestal panel on carved gilded scrolled feet.

Chairs: gilded frames with tall pierced crests, buttoned leather backs and studded leather seats.

Upholstery: maroon leather as photographed; any leather or fabric available.

Finish: hand-laid gold with painted decoration; painting can be lighter, different in subject, or omitted entirely.

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

A painted surface is protected by its clear coats but not by its packing, so the top is wrapped in soft non-abrasive sheeting laid on rather than pulled tight, with a rigid board over the full face and edge protection round the whole circumference.

The revolving disc travels out of the table, wrapped and crated separately so nothing bears on the bearing.

The painted pedestal panel is boxed with foam standing clear of the painted face, so nothing rests directly on the decoration, and the carved scrolled feet are boxed in shaped foam. Chairs are crated individually and never nested, with the pierced crests packed using foam set into their openings and the studded leather covered along its full run.

Unpack the chairs first, then the base, then the top, and seat the revolving disc last. Nothing needs dismantling and no fixing has to be undone.

Delivery is free anywhere in India for the whole set, and every piece is guaranteed to arrive dent-free. If anything is wrong when the crates are opened, correcting it is our cost, and we commit to that before you order.

Production begins once the diameter, the painting brief, the chair count, the upholstery and the finish are confirmed in writing. The painting is done after the ground has cured and before the clear coats, so it sits in the middle of the schedule rather than at the end.

Dispatch waits for the clear coats to cure fully. We share the schedule at confirmation, update you as each stage completes, and send tracking as soon as the crates leave us. Our team agrees the delivery window with you directly.

Open the crates with the delivery team present and check every piece. A round top cannot be angled through a narrow doorway, so send us your access measurements at the order stage and we set the diameter to a figure that will reach the room.

Every frame in the set carries a 20-year warranty on solid teak frame and joinery - the table, its pedestal and each chair on identical terms. The pierced chair crests are carved from the solid and are covered with the rest of the structure.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs on every piece, resting on teak's own oils rather than on an applied treatment, and issued in writing with the set.

Both documents are tied to your order and handed over on delivery, so the record stays with you. If a covered fault appears on one piece, send photographs and we repair or replace that piece alone.

Painting, upholstery, gilding and the revolving bearing are surfaces and serviceable parts handled separately from the structural cover. Because the painting is sealed under the clear coats, it is protected in normal use, and we can restore or repaint our own work at any age - the design is recorded with your specification.
