This second-hand rattan and bamboo side table charms with its country look and light wood tone, enhanced by a creamy off-white paint. Its niche provides an ideal storage space for a book, a few magazines, or a small pile of laundry, while its top accommodates a lamp or a cup in a living room or a bedroom. The structure combining rattan and bamboo gives it a sober presence, easy to associate with natural materials, a linen armchair, or a wooden console. It easily slips alongside a sofa and complements a decor with soft, vintage accents. Like any second-hand furniture, it bears the mark of its past: a stain on the top. Width: 42 cm Depth: 36.5 cm Height: 70 cm Niche height: 35 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] represented on the carved feet of the first models brought back from Italy. This mobile piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large buffets to be broken to create conversational islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
