Antique Fine Carved Chinese Hong Mu or Mahogany three Drawer Qing Altar Table

About the Item

This elegant Altar table was made in the Chinese Shanxi period and dates approximately 1850. It is well constructed using mortise and tenon joinery techniques as was common on these tables. The altar table has a floating panel top with three drawers below. The drawers and apron are decorated with hand-carved geometric and floral designs. The table has a warm dark brown finish with a great patina. This altar table was originally used in a Qing dynasty household as a domestic altar for ancestor worship. The carvings are highly detailed and of high quality. The table is structurally very good and will be a great side table or wall table.
