With its light wood-colored bamboo structure highlighted by a honey finish, this vintage side table adds a refined country touch to the room. Its three round woven cane shelves create three display levels, supported by pretty rattan bindings. Tall and slender, it takes up little floor space and is perfect for plants, ceramics, or vases. In a living room, it gladly accommodates a ceramic lamp and a few art books near a window. In an entryway, a wall-mounted mirror and a catch-all on the top shelf are enough to signify a tidy arrival. Height: 90 cm Diameter: 36 cm Niche height: 34 cm A brief history of the side table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table owes its origin to the Moorish slaves [called guéridons] depicted on the sculpted feet of the first models brought back from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the breaking of the rigidity of large buffets to create conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candle holder, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
