This provincial Chinese altar table is made in classic Ming style and dates from the 19^th century. It is from Shanxi province in Northern China. It has four drawers and would be perfect in a hallway given its shallow depth. It is constructed from Northern elm (yumu).

Altar tables were used for ancestor worship in China & Mongolia. Usually, a family ancestor portrait would be hung above the table & joss sticks lit & placed on the table for the well being of the household. These tables also doubled as occasional tables in Chinese traditional homes.
