Tables

Every table here is made in our Jodhpur workshop from solid teak and sheesham and the kind you need depends on what the room is already doing.

In most houses the dining table is not only a dining table. It is where the kids spread out their books, where the ironing happens on Sunday and where the whole thing gets cleared in 10 minutes because guests have turned up without calling.

That is why we cut the tops thick and finish them hard, so a hot katori straight off the stove does not leave a ring you look at for the next 20 years. Round tops are worth thinking about if your drawing room is on the smaller side, because there is no corner seat to argue over and you can pull in 1 more chair when you need to.

The coffee tables and the nesting sets solve a different problem, which is floor space, since the small one slides back under when you want the room clear. Console tables and study desks are in this section too.

Because each piece is cut and polished by hand the grain runs differently on every top, so the one that arrives will not match the photograph exactly and sizes can vary slightly.
