Chinese Offering Table with Ruyi Spandrels, C. 1900
About the Item
This late 19th-century offering table from Beijing expresses Ming-dynasty tastes with clean lines and a simple silhouette. Minimally decorated, the table features straight legs, double stretchers, and spandrels carved in the form of an auspicious ruyi and outlined by a beaded edge. The table is crafted of northern elm (yumu) and darkened to a rich brown with traces of the original black lacquer finish. Originally used as a home altar for ancestor worship, this long table blends into modern interiors as a console or sofa table.

Qing Dynasty Period 19th Century Altar Console Table with Carved Spandrels
Located in Yonkers, NY
A Qing Dynasty period altar table from the 19th century, with carved spandrels, everted flanges and dark patina. Crafted during the Qing Dynasty period, this exquisite 19th-century altar table captivates with its elegant proportions and rich dark patina. The table features a narrow rectangular top, beautifully flanked by everted flanges that add a subtle sense of grandeur to the piece. The apron, adorned with delicately carved scrolling spandrels, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship typical of Qing Dynasty furniture, where every detail was carefully considered to enhance the overall aesthetic.
The table is supported by slightly splayed legs, adding a touch of dynamism to its otherwise stately silhouette. These legs are connected by double side stretchers, ensuring both stability and visual harmony. The interplay between the straight lines of the table and the curved motifs of the spandrels creates a balanced composition that is as pleasing to the eye as it is functional.
