Miniature Chinese Altar Display Stand, c. 1900

About the Item

Dated to the early 20th century, this petite display stand is crafted of northern elmwood (yumu) with clean lines and perfect proportions. Once used as a tabletop altar for ancestor worship, we love this low stand as a pedestal for elevating a figure, vase, or other precious object.
