Side Table with Marble Inlay in Carved Teak - Grey Blue with Roses

Setting a stone panel into a wooden top is more work than laying a full slab on one, and the reason to do it is what happens at the edge.

A full marble top ends in stone all the way round. That edge is the part of the table that meets doorframes, vacuum cleaners, shoes and passing furniture, and stone chips - a small chip in a polished edge is permanent and always visible.

An inlaid panel moves that job to the timber. The moulded teak border takes the contact, and if it is ever marked it can be repaired, refinished or recarved in a way stone cannot.

The fitting is the careful part. Stone and wood move at different rates, so the recess is machined slightly larger than the panel in every direction and the stone is bedded rather than glued rigid - it sits supported across its whole underside with room around it to breathe. The moulded border then overhangs the panel edge by a fraction, closing the clearance visually.

Depth matters too. The stone finishes flush with the border rather than below it, so nothing catches at the joint when you wipe the surface, and a glass set down near the edge does not step off a lip.

Done properly, you cannot see how it was done, which is generally the sign.

Material: Solid teak throughout - case, both drawer boxes and bowed fronts, moulded top border, apron and legs, with an inlaid natural marble panel. No veneer over engineered board.

Top: Marble panel bedded into a machined recess within a moulded solid teak border, finished flush. Stone type and veining chosen with you.

Construction: Asymmetric carved ribbon and rose motif running down one side of the front, carved rose corner mount, carved shell at the post foot, cabriole legs with fluted knees and scrolled toes.

Storage: Two bowed drawers. Counts, depths and internal fittings are configurable.

Finish: Soft grey-blue with silver highlighting, as photographed. Any colour can be matched.

Dimensions: Custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

Available: Singly or as a matched pair.

Made: Handcrafted Indian luxury, produced to order by master Indian artisans.

Because the stone is inlaid rather than separate, the top travels fitted to the table - which means the panel is protected in place. A rigid faced pad is set over the marble bearing on the moulded timber border around it, so no load ever passes onto the stone itself.

The case is wrapped in a soft non-abrasive layer laid straight onto the grey-blue finish, chosen so it cannot burnish the silver highlighting at any contact point.

The carved ribbon runs down one side of the front and the carved rose stands on the corner post; both are bridged with foam bearing on the surrounding surface rather than into the carving, and the corner rose is given its own rigid guard.

Both drawers are removed or secured shut so nothing can run out and strike a front.

Each cabriole leg is sleeved along its sweep with a guard over the scrolled toe. The table then goes into a rigid outer carton braced internally. Ordered as a pair, each is crated separately. Dent-free arrival is guaranteed.

Free delivery is included anywhere in India, with no distance surcharge and nothing added at the end. Metros, tier-two cities and smaller towns are served on the same terms, and a pair ships on the same free terms as a single table.

Production begins once your dimensions, stone selection, drawer layout, carving and colour are confirmed in writing. A matched colour needs reference approval and the stone panel is bedded before the top is finished, so the sequence is fixed; we give you an honest timeline and keep you updated as it progresses.

We dispatch through carriers experienced with carved and stone-inlaid furniture, and send tracking details as soon as it leaves us.

On arrival our team brings the table in, positions it, checks it stands level and that the drawers run cleanly, and removes all packaging. Because the stone is inlaid, there is nothing to fit on site. Dent-free arrival is guaranteed.

The solid teak frame and joinery carry a 20-year warranty - the case, both drawer boxes and their bowed fronts, the moulded top, the apron and every leg joint.

The inlaid stone is covered too, and it stays sound because of how the recess is cut. The panel is bedded across its whole underside in a recess machined slightly oversize, so the timber around it can move seasonally without ever gripping or loading the stone. The moulded border overhangs the edge and closes that clearance from view.

Because the border is timber rather than stone, the most exposed part of the top is also the part we can repair - which is the practical reason this construction outlasts a full slab in a busy room.

The teak carries a lifetime warranty against termite damage for as long as you own the piece, from the oils in the timber rather than the paint over them.

If anything covered needs attention, send us your order details and photographs and our artisans will handle the repair or replacement.
