"Chinese Altar In Red And Gold Lacquered Wood"
An ancestral Chinese altar carved from wood, lacquered red, and richly decorated with gilt highlights. The central section features a vertical tablet adorned with cloud motifs and a central panel bearing an ancient inscription in Chinese characters, now partially patinated by time. The quadrangular base is decorated with a geometric relief pattern, typical of domestic altar ornaments used for ancestor worship in traditional Chinese homes. The red and gold polychromy, so prevalent in ritual iconography, testifies to its ceremonial use. An authentic piece whose patina and wear are consistent with its age and liturgical use. Dimensions: 16 × 17 × 56 cm
