Handcrafted Teak Wood TV Unit Console | Sage and Gold Carved Luxury Design

The Story Behind This TV Unit

Painted furniture is more honest than polished furniture, and that makes it harder to build. A dark polish forgives a joint that is a hair proud or a panel that is fractionally uneven; a flat pale colour shows both. So the carcass here is built to a higher standard of fit than the finish would suggest, and every surface is sanded further and checked under raking light before any colour is laid.

The flower basket panels are carved separately from the solid - the basket hollowed so it reads as a container rather than a block, and each bloom shaped on its own axis with a few still in bud, because a mould-made spray gives itself away by facing everything forward. The scrollwork drawer front and the apron are cut as continuous runs. The legs are turned, then fluted by hand, which is slow work because a flute that wanders is visible from every angle on a round section.

The sage is then built up in thin coats, each cut back before the next, until the colour is dense without drowning the carving. Only then is the gold picked out by hand and rubbed back at the high points.

Packaging and Transit Protection

Painted surfaces scuff where polished ones would only dull, and a scuff on flat sage is visible from across a room - so this console is packed against rubbing above all else. The whole piece is faced with a soft interleaf before any foam touches it. The carved flower basket panels, the scrollwork drawer front and the apron carving are then wrapped individually in high-density foam and taped clear of the finish so no adhesive contacts paint or gold.

The legs are unshipped where the construction allows and wrapped separately - turned, fluted legs are the first thing to break on a console in transit - and the drawer is removed, wrapped and packed alongside rather than left to travel in its opening. Everything is sleeved in a continuous foam blanket, corner-guarded at all four corners of the carcass and blocked into a fitted wooden crate with foam on every face. The crate is marked for orientation, fragility and lifting points, strapped and sealed. We photograph every component wrapped and the crate closed before dispatch.

Shipping and Delivery

Every console is built, carved and finished after you order. Typical lead time is 6 to 8 weeks from order confirmation, and the painting stage takes longer than a polish because the colour is built up in thin coats with each one cut back before the next. A bespoke paint colour adds time for matching and approval before painting begins. The exact timeline is confirmed in writing at order and we share progress photographs after the carcass is built, after carving, and after the colour and gold are laid.

Delivery is free anywhere in India. We arrange and manage the transport, and our team unloads, assembles the legs, 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, and tell us your floor type so we can supply protective pads. International orders are quoted case by case on request.

Craftsmanship Assurance and Care

Our craftsmanship assurance covers the solid teak carcass, the carving, the joinery, the drawer runners and the leg joints. If a joint opens, a carved panel separates or a drawer runs badly because of a fault in the making - rather than through impact, misuse, water damage or an attempted self-repair - we repair or replace it. Hand-applied paint varies slightly between pieces; that is a characteristic of hand finishing, not a defect.

A painted console marks more easily than a polished one, so keep cleaning dry and gentle. Dust the flat surfaces with a soft dry cloth and use a clean dry soft brush on the flower baskets, the scrollwork and the fluting. Never use water, chemical polish, alcohol or ammonia cleaners anywhere on the finish - solvents lift paint faster than they lift gold, and a stripped patch on a flat colour cannot be hidden. Use coasters and mats on the top, and never let a hot appliance or a wet glass stand directly on it. Do not exceed the stated shelf loads. Keep the piece out of direct sunlight, which yellows pale paint and fades gold picking over time.
