About this object

A round breakfast table in solid teak, built on the classic William IV formula: a generous book-matched top, a single turned baluster pedestal swelling to a full vase profile at its centre, and a quadriform plinth resting on four carved scroll-bracket feet. The finish is a hand-rubbed walnut tone that lets the teak's figure run uninterrupted across the top—the grain, not ornament, is the decoration. At roughly four feet across, it seats four in comfort and six in conversation. The pedestal is the piece's engineering and its art in one. Turned from a single block rather than glued staves, the bulb carries the entire top without aprons or stretchers—which is why a pedestal table gives every chair a clean seat, with no leg in anyone's way. The quadriform base answers the physics: its weight and footprint sit low and wide, so the table cannot tip even when leaned on at the rim. The scroll feet are carved, not applied—run a hand under the bracket and the cut is continuous. This is the same structural logic the English workshops perfected two centuries ago, executed here in teak, a harder and more climate-stable timber than the mahogany they used. A round pedestal table is the most sociable shape furniture comes in—no head, no foot, every seat equal—which is why it has owned the breakfast room since the Regency. It serves equally as a four-seat daily dining table in an apartment, a games and cards table in a study, or the centre table of a large foyer. With velvet-upholstered chairs it reads formal; with cane or rush chairs it relaxes completely. Made to order with adjustable size, finish tone and seat count.
