Royal Luxury Handcrafted Carved Teak Leather Sofa | Bronze and Champagne

The Story Behind This Sofa

Long sofas are a structural problem before they are a design one, and it is worth knowing what changes as length increases.

The seat rail is the critical member. It spans between legs and carries everyone sitting on it, and deflection increases sharply with span - double the unsupported length and the bend grows several times over. So beyond roughly seven feet we add intermediate legs front and back, increase the section of the seat rails, and in the longest builds add a cross member beneath the seat. None of it is visible in the finished sofa; all of it is why a long sofa still sits flat in year fifteen.

Weight rises too, and not proportionally - a longer frame needs heavier timber throughout, so a four-seater is considerably more than a third heavier than a three. That has consequences for how it is carried and who carries it.

And access becomes the binding constraint. A long sofa cannot be rotated in a stairwell or turned on a small landing, and unlike width, length cannot be reduced by removing cushions.

Packaging and Transit Protection

Length is the whole packing problem here. A long crate flexes in transit, and flex transmits directly into the frame, so the crate is cross-braced along its length and the sofa is blocked so its weight is carried at multiple points rather than at the ends. Lifting points are marked externally, because a crate this size will be moved by people who cannot see what is inside.

Leather is never folded or compressed: the four seat cushions travel flat in individual bags with rigid support, the tufted back is protected with standoff blocking bridging over the buttons, and all leather is covered in soft breathable cloth only, never sealed plastic, so the hide can breathe. No adhesive tape touches leather at any point. The pierced crest, both carved arm wraps, the apron and the scroll feet are individually foam-wrapped and taped clear of the champagne finish. Photographed sealed before dispatch.

Shipping and Delivery

On a sofa this size, access planning comes before manufacture, not after. Send us the tightest point on the route - doorway width and height, stair width, any turn or landing, lift internal dimensions and door aperture - and we will confirm it will go in before we cut timber. Where it will not, we can often build the piece to separate into sections for the carry, but only if we know beforehand.

Typical lead time is 11 to 13 weeks from order confirmation, longer than a standard sofa because of the additional frame structure and the leather hide matching across a long piece. Delivery is free anywhere in India - Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and elsewhere. Our team unloads, carries, places and levels the sofa with the manpower the size requires. International orders quoted case by case.

Craftsmanship Assurance and Care

Our craftsmanship assurance covers the solid teak frame, its joinery, the seat rail structure and the hand-carving. If a rail deflects, a joint works loose or a carved element separates because of a fault in the making - rather than through impact, misuse, or an attempted self-repair - we repair or replace it. Leather and foam are consumable components covered separately.

Large sofas need more people to move them, not more force. Never move this piece with fewer than two people, one at each end, lifting from the seat frame - never by the crest, the apron or an arm, none of which is a lifting point. Dragging a long sofa twists the frame along its length, which is the most likely way to damage it. Rotate the four seat cushions between positions monthly so wear distributes evenly across the length. Vacuum the tufting and seams with a brush attachment. Wipe leather spills at once with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat.
