Handcrafted Teak Wood TV Unit Wall | Ivory and Gold Palace Luxury Design

The Story Behind This TV Unit Wall

A piece at this scale is drawn full-size before anything is cut. The cornice, the crest, the column proportions and the valance arcade all have to hold their relationship when seen from floor level several metres away - ornament that looks correct on a bench looks squat from below, so the carvers compensate deliberately in the setting out.

The teak is seasoned for months, because a wall composition that moves shows gaps at every panel join and there is no moulding wide enough to hide them. The columns are turned and then reeded by hand along their full length. The crest and corner flourishes are carved as separate compositions and pierced clean through so the wall shows behind them. The console base is the most demanding element: an openwork carved structure that still has to carry the console and everything on it.

Then the finishing, which takes longer than the carving. Ivory is built up in thin coats and cut back between them; the blue-black accents are laid separately; and gold leaf is applied by hand across the crest, cornice, column reeding, valance and swags, then burnished and rubbed back at the high points. The whole wall is dry-assembled in the workshop and photographed for your approval before it is dismantled.

Packaging and Transit Protection

A wall composition of this size ships as many separate components across several crates - cornice, crest, corner flourishes, columns, back panel, valance, console carcass, pierced base, drawers and fittings all travel apart. The pierced crest and flourishes are the most fragile elements: each is wrapped individually in high-density foam shaped around the openwork rather than pressed flat against it, and taped clear of the finish so no adhesive contacts gold leaf.

Every painted surface is faced with a soft interleaf before any foam touches it, because a scuff on flat ivory cannot be touched in invisibly. The marble travels vertically in a purpose-built timber frame with foam bedding and rigid facing boards - marble cracks when it lies flat and flexes. Columns are wrapped along their full length with extra protection at the reeded sections. Everything is blocked into skidded crates built to the weight, cross-braced and marked for orientation, fragility and lifting points, with the assembly drawing and all fixings boxed and labelled. Every component is photographed wrapped and every crate sealed before dispatch.

Shipping and Delivery

This is site-specific work, so it begins before manufacture: we take your wall width, ceiling height, socket and conduit positions and television specification, and issue a full drawing for your approval. Typical lead time is 10 to 14 weeks from drawing approval, extending for a larger wall, bespoke marble, a custom colour or additional gold work. The wall is dry-assembled in the workshop and photographed for your sign-off before it is dismantled for transit.

Delivery is free anywhere in India. Our team transports, unloads and installs on site over several days - setting the columns, fitting the back panel and marble, aligning the cornice and crest, placing the console and base, and terminating the concealed lighting for your electrician to connect. Please confirm doorway and stair widths, lift internal dimensions, ceiling height and any crane or service-entry requirement well in advance, and have the wall plastered, finished and painted before we arrive. International orders quoted case by case.

Craftsmanship Assurance and Care

Our craftsmanship assurance covers the solid teak structure, the carving, the turning, the joinery and the gold-leaf work. If a panel joint opens, a carved element separates or a console drawer runs badly because of a fault in the making - rather than through impact, misuse, water ingress or work carried out by someone else - we repair or replace it. Marble veining varies from the photograph, and hand-applied paint and leaf vary slightly between pieces; neither is a defect. Light fittings carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we pass to you.

Use a clean dry soft brush on the pierced crest, the column reeding, the valance arcade and the carved swags, working gently so nothing levers against a pierced rib. A soft dry cloth suits the painted ivory fields and the console top. Never use water, chemical polish, alcohol or ammonia cleaners anywhere - solvents lift paint and gold leaf, and neither can be spot-repaired invisibly. Wipe marble with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately; never let oil or lamp residue stand on it. Keep the wall out of direct sunlight, which yellows ivory. Have any electrical work done by a qualified electrician.
