Readily available and durable, the northern elmwood used to make this 19th-century altar table has an even grain and color that enabled artisans to employ sophisticated joinery, piecing the table together without benefit of glue or nails. This time-honored method of construction, largely hidden from view, enabled woodworkers to create a seamless design that beautifully unites form and function. Distinguished by its refined hoof feet and open, articulated apron, the table once played host to the offerings and ritual elements used to honor ancestors.

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.”
