About the Item
A Chinese elmwood altar console table from the Qing dynasty, 19th century, with dark patina, everted flanges, and richly carved decoration. The rectangular top, fashioned from a single plank, is flanked by raised ends that curve upward in the traditional altar table form. Beneath, carved spandrels depict lively mythical creatures amidst scrolling clouds, adding both movement and auspicious symbolism. The base continues the decorative program with pierced side panels featuring birds set within foliage, worked in low relief with a confident hand.
This piece’s deep blackened surface and elegant silhouette give it presence without heaviness, making it an especially versatile choice for interiors. Its long, narrow proportions suit a variety of settings — from anchoring an entry hall with a mirror or artwork above, to serving as a dramatic console behind a sofa or against a dining room wall. With its balance of restrained form and intricate carving, this 19th century Qing altar table introduces both architectural strength and refined ornament, appealing equally to decorators and collectors.
