This early 20^th century Chinese altar table is from Shandong province in Northern China. It is made in the classic Ming style with cloud head spandrels. Incredibly elegant, this altar table perfectly suits a corridor or living room.

Altar tables were used for ancestor worship in China. 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. They were always long & narrow in form - a configuration seldom found in antique European furniture.
