Handcrafted Teak Wood TV Unit | Carved Scroll End Natural Polish Console

The Story Behind This TV Unit

When there is no paint and no gold, the timber itself has to carry the piece - so this console starts with board selection more carefully than anything else in the range. Boards are chosen and matched for grain and figure across the doors and the top, so the pattern runs coherently rather than jumping from one panel to the next. On a painted piece this would be invisible; here it is the whole effect.

The scroll ends are cut from thick solid stock, shaped in a continuous S-curve and then carved with acanthus along the outer edge. They are structural as well as decorative - they carry the top - so the grain has to run through the curve rather than across it, which limits how the blank can be laid out and wastes a good deal of timber.

The door panels are carved in raised relief from the solid, the shell hollowed so it reads as a shell and the foliage layered around it. The frieze is run continuously along the base. Then the finishing: hand-sanded through progressive grits, then scraped, then the polish built up in coats and cut back between them so the depth comes from layers and the grain stays legible.

• Size: Custom sizes made to order - share your wall length and preferred height and we will quote
• Make: Made to order, handcrafted by master Indian artisans; boards grain-matched across the doors and top
• Delivery: Pan-India, free shipping

Packaging and Transit Protection

The carved scroll ends project further than any other part of this console and take any impact first, so each is wrapped individually in high-density foam and taped clear of the polish before anything else is done. The raised shell door panels are foam-faced across their full area rather than tip by tip, so nothing can catch and lever a carved edge away.

Because the finish is a clear polish, scuffs and pressure marks show more than they would on paint, so the whole piece is faced with a soft interleaf before any foam contacts it, and the top is protected across its full area. Both drawers are removed, wrapped and packed alongside rather than travelling in their openings, and the doors are unshipped where the construction allows. Everything is corner-guarded and blocked into a fitted wooden crate with dense foam on every face so a heavy console cannot shift. The crate is marked for orientation, fragility and lifting points, strapped, sealed and photographed before dispatch.

Shipping and Delivery

Every console is built and carved after you order. Typical lead time is 6 to 8 weeks from order confirmation, moving to the longer end for a greater length, deeper carving or a bespoke polish tone. Board selection and grain matching add time at the start that a painted piece does not need, since we are matching figure across the doors and top rather than simply cutting to size. The exact timeline is confirmed in writing at order and we share progress photographs after the carcass is built, after carving and after polishing.

Delivery is free anywhere in India. We arrange and manage transport sized to the crate, and our team unloads, rehangs the doors, refits the drawers, positions the console and levels it at your address rather than leaving crates at the gate. Please confirm doorway and stair widths and lift internal dimensions in advance - this is a heavy piece - and tell us your floor type so we can supply protective pads. International orders are quoted case by case.

Craftsmanship Assurance and Care

Our craftsmanship assurance covers the solid teak carcass, the carving, the joinery, the drawer runners, the door hinges and the scroll end joints. If a joint opens, a drawer binds, a hinge drops or a carved element separates because of a fault in the making - rather than through impact, misuse, water damage or an attempted self-repair - we repair or replace it. Teak is a natural material and grain and colour vary between boards and deepen with age; that is the character of the wood, not a defect.

Dust the polished surfaces with a soft dry cloth along the grain, and use a clean dry soft brush on the shell panels, the scroll carving and the base frieze. Never use water, chemical polish, alcohol or ammonia cleaners - a built-up polish is stripped by solvents and cannot be spot-repaired to match. Use coasters and mats on the top, and never let a hot appliance or a wet glass stand directly on it, since a ring on a clear polish is far more visible than on a painted surface. Do not exceed the stated shelf loads. Keep the piece out of direct sunlight, which lightens polished teak unevenly across a top.
