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.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
