This is a spirited example of a 19th century Ming form flanked-top altar table from Shanxi Province. Tables like this were traditionally placed against a wall to display flowers and valuable antiques or floated in a room for incense and other offerings. Auspicious lingzhi symbols representing longevity are carved thoughtfully within each of the open side panels. Dramatic beaded ruyi carvings symbolizing good fortune decorate the top of each leg.

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.”
