Greek Gold Brush Effect Console

HISTORY

The art of applying metal sheets to wood dates back to 2600 BC in Egypt, when silver was valued higher than gold and brass. This ancient craft evolved over centuries and reached India, where artisans began overlaying thick silver sheets on carved wood giving birth to exquisite silver handcrafted furniture.

Initially made for royal families, this rare technique continues to define luxury handcrafted furniture in modern India. Today, it inspires elegant silver furniture collections and sacred silver pooja room designs that preserve India’s timeless artistry.

DESCRIPTION

This exquisite hand-carved floral console table is a true celebration of heritage craft and refined Indian luxury designed and created by Khenshu, a luxury furniture brand to look for. The base is carved from old building teakwood. This matured teakwood carries history in every grain dense, seasoned, and exceptionally strong.

Master artisans sculpt the teak into a dramatic cluster of roses, leaves, and flowing textures. Each petal and curve is shaped entirely by hand, making the console not just furniture, but a sculptural artwork. Once fully carved, the piece is finished with a hand-applied paint coating. This enhances the depth of the carvings, adds dimensional highlights, and gives the console a soft vintage patina perfect for luxury homes that appreciate heirloom-style charm.

This console elevates luxury entryways, boutique-style living rooms, reading corners, vanity spaces, and even silver pooja room settings as part of a larger décor story.It pairs beautifully with customised silver furniture and gemstone accessories from Khenshu.

PROCESS AND CRAFT

Each piece of silver handcrafted furniture is a result of meticulous artistry and traditional Indian craftsmanship. The process begins with skilled wood carving, where premium old building teakwood is shaped into intricate designs. Once the base form is perfected, pure silver sheets are carefully hammered and hand-applied over the surface using age-old gilding techniques.

Once the base is ready, pure silver sheets are carefully hammered and molded onto the wooden surface a traditional technique that gives birth to timeless silver furniture.

To ensure durability and long-lasting shine, every piece is lacquered with a protective coating that prevents oxidation and tarnish, keeping the silver’s luster intact for years.

CARE

To maintain the beauty of your silver handcrafted furniture, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cotton cloth. Avoid moisture, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners that can tarnish the silver finish. For long-lasting shine, gently polish with a specialized silver polish when needed.
