Six elaborately carved dragons instill this dramatic altar table with potent and auspicious power. Providing delicate counterpoint to the table’s strong silhouette - defined by everted ends and trestle legs - the intricate carvings bring exuberant Qing-dynasty ornamentation to Ming-dynasty refinement. Set with offerings, ancestor portraits, and incense, this table would have played a spirited role in home-based ancestor ritual.

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.”
