Details

A rare and soulful piece of Chinese heritage, this 18th-century ancestral altar shrine hails from the Shanxi province. Crafted from solid northern elm, the shrine showcases a warm, timeworn patina. Delicate hand-carved motifs adorn the apron and legs, reflecting themes of longevity, harmony, and reverence.


Originally used for ancestor worship, this shrine would have held spirit tablets, incense offerings, and family heirlooms. Today, it stands as a stunning decorative piece or functional console, perfect for adding meaning and character to an entryway, hallway, or sacred space.
