The basic set up for traditional home-based ancestor worship was an altar table upon which ancestral tablets or images of ancestors and offerings were placed. Sometimes the altar was supplemented with a shrine such as this cabinet from 1900, which may have housed a buddha or ancestral figure. With its compact, box-like shape and simple double doors, this lacquered cabinet provided a safe, if unassuming, place to store its contents. Today, it is ideally suited next to a bed or sofa--making a quiet statement with endless stories to tell.

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.”
