This antique Chinese black lacquer altar table with drawers is from Shanxi province and dates from the 19th century.
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. This elegant table is ideal for use as a console table in a narrow hallway or as a lamp table behind a sofa.
