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.

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.”
