Chinese Shallow Offering Table, c. 1800

About the Item

This offering table from China's Shanxi province dates to the early 19th century and was originally used to display an ancestor shrine in a provincial household. Incense, candles, and fruits would have covered the narrow table as offerings to the family's ancestors. The table has a minimalist design, with a floating panel top, a single wide drawer, and straight legs linked by double stretchers. We've left the table's finish as-is to preserve its rich character, an inimitable weathered texture that only time can achieve. Additional Dimensions: Table Apron to Floor: 23"H.
