Wooden Sofa Set in Carved Teak with Scrolled Arms and a Pierced Plinth

A rolled arm is a spiral, and a spiral in upholstery is a lesson in how much cloth a curve actually consumes.

Wrap fabric around the outside of a roll and the outer face travels much further than the inner face, which means a single flat piece of cloth cannot cover it without either wrinkling on the inside or straining on the outside. The old solution, and still the right one, is to make the arm from separate panels: an outside scroll, an inside scroll, and a shaped disc at the face of the spiral - three pieces joined on lines that follow the geometry.

The disc at the front is the piece that matters. It is cut as a true circle, and the cloth for it is worked from the centre outward, easing the fullness evenly all the way round so there is no flat spot. A carved rosette is then set at its middle, which anchors the covering at the exact point where the fullness converges and hides the one place a spiral cannot be made to lie perfectly flat.

Which is why almost every scrolled arm ever made has something at the centre of its spiral. The ornament is solving a problem.

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

Seat: long cushion over a sprung and webbed platform.

Finish: soft gold as photographed; silver, ivory, champagne, black with gold and natural teak available.

Upholstery: fabric of your choosing.

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 scroll arms are the widest points of this sofa and the plinth carving projects at the base, so both are protected before anything else.

Each arm scroll is capped with shaped foam following its spiral, with the carved rosette protected separately at the centre.

The pierced plinth is packed with foam worked into its openings so the carving is supported from within, and the piece is blocked so its weight rests on the plinth frame rather than on the carved face.

Upholstered surfaces are covered with a clean breathable wrap, the buttoned back is given a standoff board on foam blocks, and the cushion travels wrapped separately. 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 surcharge for a smaller town.

Production begins once your dimensions, fabric, finish and floor type are confirmed in writing. You get a realistic production window at that point and updates as the piece moves through frame work, carving, finishing, upholstery and crating.

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, stair and lift dimensions when you order. The scroll arms make this sofa wider than its seat suggests, and we measure the crate to the scrolls.

The solid teak frame and its joinery carry a 20-year Brown Rabbit warranty - the seat rails, the plinth frame, the arm structure, the back frame and the crest fixings.

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

Glides under the plinth are a wearing part and can be replaced over the years. Cushions can be refilled and covers remade without disturbing the frame, and we can carry out that work whenever it is wanted.

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