Solid Wood Console Table in Gilded Teak with Shaped Mirror

Shaped mirror glass changes the order in which a mirror has to be built, and getting that order wrong is how shaped mirrors go wrong.

A rectangular plate can be ordered to a measurement and the frame built around it, because a rectangle is fully described by two numbers. A shaped plate is not. This arch has a curve at the head, a change of direction at each shoulder and a return down each side, and no set of dimensions communicates that to a glass cutter accurately enough for a rebate to close on it.

So our master Indian artisans build the frame first. The carving is completed, the rebate is cut all the way round the finished opening, and only then is a template taken directly off that rebate - the actual curve, not a drawing of it. The glass is cut to the template.

Cutting the glass first and then carving a frame to match it is the wrong way round, because a carver can be asked to follow a line by a fraction and glass cannot be persuaded at all. Build the timber, then serve it. That is the whole rule.

Material: solid teak throughout, console and mirror frame, hand-carved. No veneer, no engineered board.

Console: all-over scrolled and leaf-carved base with integrated legs, apron and stretcher, cut from the solid.

Top: dark polished top with a shaped outline and a moulded edge.

Mirror: shaped arched plate cut to a template taken from the finished frame rebate, in a scroll-carved frame with a pierced crest.

Finish: hand-applied gilding over the carved teak, sealed for durability, matched across both pieces.

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

Warranty: 20 years on the solid teak frames and joinery; lifetime cover against termite damage.

Photography: images show the actual product, not renders.

Carving that covers an entire base means there is no plain surface to bear against, so this piece is packed by suspension rather than by contact: the frame is held in shaped foam that meets it only at chosen points, with clearance everywhere else.

A soft non-abrasive layer goes against the gilding first. The scroll tips along the base, the feet and the crest of the mirror all receive individual shaped protection, since those are the points that would meet a crate wall.

The mirror travels braced across its width with the shaped plate cushioned across its whole surface. A shaped plate has curved edges, which are more vulnerable than straight ones, so the glass is packed with support following its outline rather than just at four corners.

The top travels flat with edge guards, packed apart from the frames. Everything enters rigid outer crates, strapped so nothing shifts. This multi-layer protective packaging is why dent-free arrival is guaranteed.

Delivery is free anywhere in India for the complete set. No freight charge, no distance surcharge, no difference between a metro address and a smaller town.

Every set is made to order, so production begins once your dimensions, top material and finish are confirmed in writing. We share the timeline at that point and keep you updated through carving, gilding, template-taking and glazing.

Crates travel together with a carrier used to handling carved furniture and mirror glass, and you are contacted before delivery so someone can be present to receive and inspect the set.

Arrival is guaranteed dent-free. If transit damage occurs, photograph it with the delivery team present and contact us - we will resolve it. On site the top is laid onto the carved base and the mirror positioned above it; if you would like the mirror wall-secured, tell us before production and the fixings are built into the frame.

The solid teak frames and their joinery carry a 20-year warranty from the day the set reaches you. On the console that covers every joint in the carved base and the seating of the top; on the mirror it covers the frame joints, the crest and the shaped rebate holding the plate.

Lifetime cover against termite damage applies to both pieces for the life of the furniture rather than a fixed number of years. Because the pieces are solid teak throughout - the very thing that makes carving of this depth possible - there is no board core anywhere for insects to reach, and the timber's own oils deter them.

If a warranty issue arises, send us photographs and we will assess and repair or replace. Carved elements are re-cut from solid teak and re-gilded to match, and if a shaped plate ever needs replacing, a fresh template is taken from your own frame so the new glass fits that frame rather than a nominal drawing. Both warranties apply anywhere in India.
