About the Item

A late Qing Dynasty period antique altar console table with overhang top and open fretwork on scroll frieze from the early 20th century. This Qing Dynasty altar console table charms our eyes with its exquisite silhouette and delicate décor. Created in the early 20th century, the table features a rectangular planked top that overhangs a spectacular apron adorned with an open fretwork décor of scrolls on all sides. The intricate scroll frieze adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the piece, making it a focal point in any room. Our eye is then gently led to the elegant base on which the console is raised. The base is made of straight legs, each adorned with skillfully executed scrolls that enhance the table's overall aesthetic. These legs are connected to one another on the sides through stretchers, accented with motifs echoed from the apron and intertwining rings that create a lovely focal point. The attention to detail in the carving and the warm patina of the wood adds to the table's charm and authenticity. With its unusual hand-carved design and rich patina, this Chinese altar console table circa 1900 will be a great decorative accent in any home. It can be beautifully placed in a living room, foyer, or hallway, where it will bring a touch of historical elegance and refined artistry. Its versatile design allows it to complement various interior styles, from traditional to contemporary, making it a timeless addition to any space. The table's intricate scrollwork and warm finish create a welcoming ambiance, making it a perfect piece to enhance your home décor.
