This 19th-century altar coffer with everted ends is made striking by a delicately carved apron featuring two scaly dragons dancing amid swirling clouds. The table would have originally been much lower to the ground, to be used beside a kang bed in a woman's sleeping quarters. Our carpenters, skilled in traditional methods, have elongated the legs to make the console more functional for the modern home.

“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.”
