About the Item

This long Chinese altar table from the early 19th century is masterfully crafted with grand proportions and timeless simplicity. The minimal table is decorated with reeded carvings along the legs, apron and spandrels, a motif that gestures to early Chinese furniture designs of bent bamboo. Cloaked in a rich patina, the console table reveals its age in its beautifully worn black lacquer finish, now heavily crackled and faded to reveal the warm coloring of the elmwood beneath.
