Teak Wood Console Table with Carved Mirror and Paw Feet

A carved paw foot either looks like it is holding the table up or it looks like an ornament stuck on the bottom of a leg, and the difference comes down to two decisions the carver makes before touching the timber.

The first is projection. The front of the paw has to reach forward past the centre line of the leg above it. A paw that sits directly under the leg reads as tucked in, and the whole table looks as if it is standing on tiptoe. Push the toes forward and the eye immediately accepts that the foot is taking the load.

The second is splay. The toes must spread slightly outward and be modelled so the pads flatten where they meet the floor, the way a real paw does under weight. Toes carved parallel and rounded look like a decorative bunch; toes that splay and flatten look like they are pressing down.

Our master Indian artisans carve all four together, checking them from floor level rather than from above - because floor level is where the foot is actually seen. The table is stood up and looked at from across the room before the paws are considered finished.

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

Console: swelling front, pierced apron of scrolls and flowers with a carved centre, four cabriole legs with carved paw feet, shaped stretcher with a carved cluster.

Top: dark marble slab with a hand-moulded edge following the shaped front.

Mirror: shaped plate framed by spiral-carved side columns, with a deep pierced crest and a carved base rail.

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.

The paw feet and the pierced crest are the two elements that decide how this set is packed, because both project and both are at the ends of the pieces where impact is most likely.

Each foot is given its own shaped protection so nothing bears on the toes, and the console is wrapped first in a soft non-abrasive layer against the gilding, then in foam cut to sit around the pierced apron and the stretcher cluster rather than pressed onto them.

The mirror travels braced across its width with the plate cushioned across its whole surface. The spiral columns are protected along their length and the pierced crest is supported on both faces so it cannot rock.

The marble goes flat on a padded board with edge guards all round, packed separately from the frames. All three elements then enter rigid outer crates, strapped so nothing moves. This multi-layer protective packaging is why dent-free arrival is guaranteed.

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

The set is made to order, so production begins once your console dimensions, mirror height, marble and finish are confirmed in writing. We give you the timeline then and keep you updated through carving, gilding and glazing.

Crates travel together with a carrier used to handling carved furniture, stone 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 marble is laid onto the console first and the mirror stood on its base rail above; if you would like it wall-secured as well, tell us before production and the fixings are built in.

The solid teak frames and their joinery are covered for 20 years from the day the set reaches you. On the console that includes the leg joints, the pierced apron, the stretcher connections and the marble's bed; on the mirror it includes the frame joints, the spiral columns, the crest and the rebate.

Lifetime cover against termite damage applies to both pieces for the life of the furniture rather than a fixed term. Seasoned solid teak carries oils that termites avoid, and with both pieces built in teak throughout there is no board core anywhere for them to reach.

If anything covered arises, send us photographs and we will assess and repair or replace. Carved and gilded elements are repaired by artisans working in the original techniques, carved from solid teak and re-gilded to match, so a repair reads as part of the piece. Both warranties apply anywhere in India and stay with the furniture.
