Gilt Lacquered Table Cabinet from Fujian Province - 19th Century Material - Zelkova Wood Our stone bi are reproductionThis beautifully carved, lacquered and gilded altar cabinet would have occupied a place of prominence in a Chinese home. The various compartments and drawers would have held scrolls, incense and other ritualistic items and the space on top would be occupied by incense burners or devotional statues.
