This late 19 century Chinese altar table with everted ends features 4 pairs hand carved clouds spandrels on both front and back. The restoration to this antique table from countryside of Hebei Province is kept to minimum intentionally. The original top showing deep wood lines, cracks and aged natural wood colour can only be created by the passing of time. Solid construction, naturally aged wood showing age proper patinas, dents, knots, lines, spots, and wear and tears. A fine example of traditional Chinese joinery: every piece of wood is calculated to interlock in a seamless way to provide structural strength and enhances the beauty of the design. This rustic altar table with its original wood colour, 4 pairs hand carved clouds spandrels, beautiful aged top, and everted ends will make an astonishing Asian console table in a living room, dining room, hall way or entryway.
