About the Item

A Chinese altar console table from the early 20th century, showcasing carved dragon motifs, geometric scrollwork, and a refined silhouette. Dating to around 1920–1930, the table features a long, narrow rectangular top with everted flanges at either end—a traditional architectural flourish that lends a sense of formality and lift to the composition. The apron is richly detailed, with deeply carved meander patterns framing a central dragon motif rendered in low relief. The legs are slightly splayed for stability and visual balance, and are joined by pierced side panels carved with flowing vegetal scrolls. The warm wood tone and even surface finish create a sense of cohesion, while minor signs of wear contribute to the piece’s character and authenticity. Striking from all angles, this early 20th-century Chinese altar table can serve as a dramatic foyer console, a display piece for ceramics, or a sculptural anchor in a refined interior. Its strong lines and mythic detailing invite both reverence and conversation.
