Walnut Seven Drawer Altar Table Console Table These Individually made distressed cabinetsShanxi, circa 1860 This gorgeous altar table is in walnut, with a beautiful golden brown colour and tone to the wood. Walnut is prevalent around Shanxi province where this was produced and is considered a superior wood to the more common elm, often used for high quality pieces of furniture. The raised ends, ending in a scroll design, suggest that the table would have been used as an altar, with the top surface used to display offerings to ancestors.
