Made for a provincial home in northeastern China, this sideboard was once used as a home altar to honor loved ones past and present with photos, ancestral tablets and offerings. Crafted in the late 19th century, the expansive table has a simple yet effective design with bold proportions and an impressive solid plank top. The coffer features a row of doors with round pulls and extends horizontally with an overhanging top and apron, and low-lying stretcher bars. We love its emphasis on natural wood and the depth of character earned through decades of use.
