The Altar Table

A signature and versatile piece is the Chinese Altar table. Traditionally they were used for the rituals that were a part of everyday spiritual life. Symbolic offerings were placed on the altars, to bring generosity, compassion, equanimity, concentration, wisdom and mindfulness to the devout.

Today in western homes they stand out in their simplistic beauty. From a TV console to a hall table they aren't just good looks.
