This is a spirited example of a 19th century Ming form flanked-top altar table from Shanxi Province. Tables like this were traditionally placed against a wall to display flowers and valuable antiques or floated in a room for incense and other offerings. Auspicious lingzhi symbols representing longevity are carved thoughtfully within each of the open side panels. Dramatic beaded ruyi carvings symbolizing good fortune decorate the top of each leg.

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.”
