Red Throne Chair in Carved Teak with Studded Edges and a Gilded Frame

The stud line on this chair has to turn corners, and a corner is where a stud line either looks considered or looks like it ran out of room.

At an outside corner - the front of an arm, say - the studs on each face converge, and if the spacing is simply continued round, two studs end up almost touching at the turn while the rest of the run stays even. At an inside corner the opposite happens and a gap opens.

So our upholsterers set the corner studs first. One stud is placed exactly on the turn of every corner, and the runs between corners are then divided into equal spacings that arrive at each corner stud precisely. The pitch therefore varies very slightly from run to run, and every corner is resolved by a stud sitting on it rather than beside it.

It is the same principle as setting out floor tiles from the centre of a room rather than starting at one wall - fix the points that must be right, then distribute the difference where nobody will measure it.

Frame: solid teak throughout, hand-carved by master Indian artisans and gilded.

Structure: tall shaped back with carved shell crest; rolled arms with carved volute ends; carved apron; cabriole legs.

Upholstery: crystal-buttoned back; velvet or fabric of your choosing.

Studs: a stud set exactly on every corner turn, with the runs between divided into equal spacings that arrive precisely at each corner; close-set for a continuous band or spaced for a dotted line, to your choice.

Finish: gold as photographed; silver, champagne and ivory available.

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

Photography: images on this page are photographs of the actual product, not renders.

Studs press into whatever they are wrapped against, and on a velvet chair that means they can mark their own upholstery if the packing is tight.

So every studded edge is given channel protection that sits beside the stud heads rather than over them, and the upholstery is covered with a clean breathable wrap that is laid rather than pulled.

The buttoned back is protected by a standoff board on foam blocks so nothing presses into the crystals.

The shell crest and arm volutes are capped individually and the legs wrapped and blocked. Everything then goes into laminated foam, bubble wrap and a fitted wooden crate. Multi-layer protective packaging is standard and dent-free arrival is guaranteed.

Delivery anywhere in India is free and included in the price - no separate freight charge, no distance loading, no small-town surcharge.

Production begins once your dimensions, fabric, stud spacing and finish are confirmed in writing. Stud spacing is worth confirming deliberately, since close-set and spaced studs produce visibly different chairs.

The shipment is tracked and our team stays reachable throughout. Dent-free arrival is guaranteed and it is our responsibility to honour.

Tell us your doorway and stair dimensions when you order and we plan the crate around them before the chair leaves the workshop.

Brown Rabbit warrants the solid teak frame and its joinery for 20 years - the seat rails, the cabriole leg joints, the back frame, the arm structure and the crest and apron fixings.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs with the chair for as long as you own it, resting on teak's natural termite resistance and confirmed in writing.

Studs can be re-set and buttons replaced individually over the years without disturbing the gilded frame, and both the stud pitch and the button grid are recorded so a recovered chair reproduces the original layout.

Written warranty terms are issued with your order so the cover is agreed before production begins.
