Bringing this altar table’s streamlined shape and waterfall flow into sharp silhouette, the fantastic black lacquer, once glossy and seamless, has aged beautifully with depth and texture that imbue great character. Worn sections now give us a peek at the many layers of lacquer, painstakingly applied by hand, required to create its dense, inky black surface. Far from disguising attributes of the original Qing-dynasty design, the finish smooths out its contours, enhancing the altar table's graceful carving and articulating the artistry of its butterfly joinery.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
