Turquoise Lacquer 3 Drawer Console Table

This turquoise lacquered console table is not antique but it is made from reclaimed wood from old doors. With three drawers, this would look great in a hallway or living room.

Console tables (also known as '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.
