Vintage Japanese Buddhist Altar Table — Lacquered Wood & Gilded Relief, Mid-20th Century (SKU: 23F-113)
Where reverence meets resplendence

Intricately carved and gilded in rich detail, this vintage butsudan altar table embodies the solemn elegance of Japanese spiritual craftsmanship. Once the centerpiece of a temple or home shrine, this table held offerings of incense, flowers, and light—bridging the earthly and the sacred. Every flourish of its gold-leaf relief and lacquered contour whispers of reverence, ritual, and devotion passed through generations.

The table’s curved legs, bold silhouette, and ornate lotus motifs evoke the grandeur of temple furnishings, yet its compact size makes it suitable for both contemplative interiors and refined collectors. The top surface offers space for a small altar arrangement, while the tiered base below provides quiet strength and grounding. Whether repurposed as a statement table or honored in its original role, it brings with it the timeless presence of Buddhist artistry.
