Antique Chinese Waisted Offering Table, 19th Century

About the Item

This narrow console table once resided in a 19th-century Chinese home, laden with food offerings and incense as a home altar for ancestor worship. Simple and classic, the small table has a waisted design with a floating panel top, straight stretchers and slightly splayed legs ending in hoof feet. The stretchers meet the legs with a graceful curve and visible mortise-and-tenon joinery adds intrigue to the undecorated form. Beautifully worn from years of use, the table has a rustic, light brown finish marked with traces of the original red-brown lacquer.
