This light wood console table charms with its rustic simplicity and vintage look, making it ideal for adding a second-hand touch to an entrance or living room. Its light wood highlights a soft presence, easy to pair with an antique mirror, a lamp, or a few selected books. It can also serve as a side piece in a reading nook, as a support for a plant, or a stack of magazines. Its height allows it to be used as a small side desk while maintaining a natural place along a wall. Like any second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its past: the paint sometimes chips in places. Width: 71.3 cm Depth: 51 cm Height: 72 cm A brief history of the side table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table owes its origin to 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 the court by breaking the rigidity of large buffets to create conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved according to needs: to place a candle holder, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
