Bleached Ribbon Altar Table Made From Reclaimed Elm

This Chinese altar table has been made using reclaimed Chinese doors and is constructed from bleached elm. 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. Woods used are Elm, Red Elm, Walnut, Poplar & more rarely Cypress & Pear.

Our pieces are mostly 19th century & early 20th century. This elegant table is ideal for use as a console table in a narrow hallway or as a lamp table behind a sofa.
