Round Lamella Pedestal Table with Two Curved-Back Chairs
Colonial-Era Vintage | Art Deco Influence | Timeless Craftsmanship

Heritage Craftsmanship Meets Functional Elegance

This beautifully preserved 1940s Indian teakwood dining set exemplifies the grace and durability of colonial-era furniture design. Expertly handcrafted from solid aged teak, the ensemble features a round lamella-base table paired with two curved-back chairs, reflecting a seamless fusion of Art Deco geometry and Indian carpentry tradition.

The table’s lamella pedestal structure is both architectural and sculptural, offering stability with visual lightness. Each chair is shaped with a fluid wraparound backrest for comfort and proportioned balance, upholstered in a soft, textured grey fabric that complements the warm teak patina. The craftsmanship, materials, and balance of form make this set an elegant intersection of functionality and art.
