chinese altar table accessories

Love Chinese altar tables. I have several of them in my tiny apartment. This Chinese altar table I purchased from chineseantiquewholesaler, ebay store based in NYC. It was so unusual, I fell in love with it immediately. Love the gold gilted details. It goes well with brass Hindu god statues that I decorated with. The first thing I see as I enter my house is this amazing table and the Hindu god statues. They give me a great energy. I collected these statues a few years ago from T.J.Maxx and Marshalls stores. I think they no longer stock them because I have not seen any for sometime... I feel so lucky to have them.
