Over 150 years ago this splendid cypress wood table sat as the centerpiece in a family’s home in China's Shanxi Province. It probably served as their altar, the place where they paid respects to their revered ancestors. The elegant table is inspired by older, classic Ming Dynasty designs highly prized by collectors: the simple stretchers, tapered legs, and beautiful antique patina.

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.”
