Marble Top Dining Set with Six Chairs

Marble on the dining table has meant a good house in India for a long time and this set puts it on a modern wooden base with 6 chairs that are padded well enough for a long Sunday lunch.

• Marble top, light in colour with natural veins running through it.
• Shaped wooden pedestal base, with no legs at the corners to knock into.
• 6 chairs with padded cream seats and curved wooden backs.
• Made in our Jodhpur workshop.

Eating On Marble Every Day

The top stays cool under the hand, a hot serving dish can be put straight down on it and a wet glass leaves no white ring the way it does on polished wood. Because the base is a pedestal, everyone at the table gets leg room, including the person on the end chair who usually sits with knees against a table leg.

Will haldi or achaar stain it?

Light marble can take a yellow mark from haldi, lemon or achaar oil if the spill sits overnight. Wipe it the same day and keep a runner under the sabzi dishes and the top does not stain.

The 6 Chairs

The backs curve round at the shoulders, so you sit held in rather than perched, and the seat is padded thick enough that nobody starts shifting halfway through the meal. The cream upholstery wipes clean with a damp cloth, which matters at a table where children eat.
