Single Seater Sofa in Carved Teak with Deep Scrolled Arms and Leather

An arm that sweeps in one line from the shoulder to the floor cannot be made from one piece of timber, and hiding that fact is the whole job.

The curve is too long and changes direction too much - somewhere along it the grain would have to run across the section, and that is where the arm would break the first time someone leaned on it heavily.

So the arm is built from three shaped pieces, jointed where the curve is momentarily straightening: once just below the shoulder scroll, once above the foot. Those are the two points where two consecutive pieces meet almost in line, which gives long glue faces and keeps the grain running along the curve everywhere it matters.

The carving is then set out across the assembled arm as one continuous design and cut afterward, so no ornament stops at a joint. On a natural-finished piece the joints are visible if you look for them, at the two places where they are structurally correct - and our artisans would rather you saw an honest joint in the right place than a hidden one in the wrong place.

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

Structure: scroll arms built from three shaped pieces jointed where the curve straightens, with carving set out across the assembled arm as one design; shaped back frame with pierced foliate crest; foliate carved apron.

Upholstery: buttoned back and sprung seat in hide as photographed or the fabric of your choosing; studded seat edge.

Suite: can be made alone, as a facing pair, or with matching two-seat and three-seat sofas set out to a common seat height.

Finish: natural polished teak as photographed; darkened, ebonised or gilded 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.

The arms are the widest part of this piece and they reach the floor, so they are protected top to bottom rather than only at the scroll.

Each arm is wrapped along its whole sweep with foam that follows the curve, and the shoulder scroll and the foot are capped separately as the two points that project furthest.

The pierced crest is packed with foam worked into its openwork. The hide is covered with a clean breathable wrap - never plastic against leather - and the buttoned back given a standoff board.

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.

Free delivery anywhere in India is included in the price - no separate freight charge, no distance loading, no small-town surcharge.

Production begins once your dimensions, upholstery and finish are confirmed in writing. If the piece is part of a suite, all the pieces are set out together and dispatched as one consignment.

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. The arms make this wider than a chair, and we measure the crate to the arms.

Brown Rabbit warrants the solid teak frame and its joinery for 20 years - the seat rails, the arm assemblies and every joint in them, the back frame and the crest and apron fixings.

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

Buttoned hide can be re-tensioned and recovered over the years without disturbing the carving, and a natural polished finish can be refreshed locally rather than stripped.

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