A striking Chinese altar bench or low platform bench finished in richly aged black and oxblood lacquer with hand-painted gilt accents.
At an impressive 103 inches long, the piece features carved scrolling supports with floral and cloud-inspired motifs, all showcasing beautiful age and authentic patina. The naturally worn lacquer surface reveals layers of character and warmth, giving the bench a strong wabi-sabi presence designers love.
Its long, narrow proportions make it ideal as an altar bench, entry statement piece, sofa-back bench, or dramatic foot-of-bed accent.
An architectural and soulful decorative piece with timeless appeal.
