Carved Chinese Altar Table From Qinghai - 19th Century Tang Horses It originally had wooden wheelsThis ornate antique Chinese altar table is from the North West of China specifically Qinghai or Gansu provinces. Beautiful tables like this would have been used as family altars in the northern regions of Qinhai and Gansu. It dates to the 19th century and is decorated with 'wise objects'; books, scrolls, and a ruyi scepter surrounded by a flowing fluid vine design. The table is constructed from a mix of poplar & pine woods as is common in the region
