Royal Luxury Handcrafted Carved Teak Sofa | Champagne and Bronze Tufted

The Story Behind This Sofa

Legs are the most under-considered part of a sofa and the most common point of failure, because they take the entire load of the frame, the upholstery and everyone sitting on it, concentrated into six small contact points on the floor.

Turned legs are cut on a lathe from solid teak blanks, then fluted by hand along their length - slow work, because a flute that wanders is visible from every angle on a round section. But the important part is invisible: how the leg meets the frame. A leg simply glued or screwed to the underside of a carcass will loosen, because every sideways nudge of the sofa levers against that single joint. Here the legs are integrated into the frame's rail structure with a mortise and tenon, so load transfers into the rails rather than hanging off a fixing.

Leg height is also a design lever, not a fixed dimension. Raising it lifts the seat and makes the sofa easier to rise from; lowering it makes the piece read heavier and more grounded. We set it to you.

Packaging and Transit Protection

Turned legs are the most frequently damaged component on any sofa in transit, because they project, they are slender at the taper, and they take the whole weight if the piece is set down carelessly. All six are unshipped where the construction allows and wrapped individually in high-density foam, with extra protection at the fluted sections and the carved collars; where legs cannot be removed, the sofa is crated raised off its feet so no leg carries load in the crate.

The upholstery is wrapped in soft breathable cloth rather than sealed plastic, with a moisture barrier outside it - important on a champagne satin, where a water mark is very visible. The carved crest, the arm posts and the apron frieze are individually foam-wrapped. Cushions and bolsters are bagged separately. The sofa is corner-guarded, blocked into a fitted crate with foam on every face, marked for orientation and lifting points, and photographed sealed before dispatch.

Shipping and Delivery

Every sofa is built to order, and on this design we confirm leg height and seat height alongside the seat count and fabric, since both are adjustable. Typical lead time is 8 to 10 weeks from order confirmation, longer for larger sets - a 7 or 9 seater is several frames turned, carved and upholstered individually. We share progress photographs after the frame and legs are made, after finishing and after upholstery.

Delivery is free anywhere in India - Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and beyond. Our team unloads, unwraps, fits the legs, places and levels the sofa at your address rather than leaving crates at the gate. Tell us your floor type at the order stage so we can supply the right protective pads. Please confirm doorway, stair and lift dimensions in advance. International orders quoted case by case.

Craftsmanship Assurance and Care

Our craftsmanship assurance covers the solid teak frame, its joinery, the turned legs and their joints, and the hand-carving. If a leg loosens, a joint works free or a carved element separates because of a fault in the making - rather than through impact, misuse, dragging or an attempted self-repair - we repair or replace it. Fabric and foam are consumable components covered separately.

The single most damaging thing you can do to this sofa is drag it. Sideways force levers directly against the leg joints, and on a six-legged frame the middle legs take the worst of it. Always lift, with a person at each end. Fit protective pads under all six legs if you have stone, marble or timber flooring - we supply them on request - and check them annually, since a worn pad lets the leg itself score the floor. Dust the show wood and fluting with a dry soft brush. Vacuum the tufted back with a brush attachment, using a soft brush around the buttons. Blot spills on the satin immediately, never rub. Keep the sofa out of direct sunlight.
