Chinese Antique Dragon Carved Elm Altar, Sofa or Hall Table #29755

A traditional Chinese "family altar" table was used for ancestral artifacts and burning memorial incense, and would be a fine hall or sofa table in today's homes. Hand carved of solid elm hardwood, the dragon motif was to protect the home from evil spirits.

The restored finish is in excellent condition all around, preserving shrinkage separations from age, see photos. Sturdy antique furniture from around 1900, the warm patina is beautiful.

Measurements are 50" long, 17 1/2" deep and 33 1/2" tall.
