Slender, long tables like this are often referred to as “altar tables.” In ancient China they were used to hold musical instruments or display items of beauty and wealth such as jade, arrangements of flowers, or porcelain vases. This elegant elmwood table was made in China's Shanxi province over 150 years ago and has aged beautifully with a wonderful patina, averted ends, a thick apron, and dragon carved legs.
