This dark wooden pedestal table, with a country spirit, charms with its carved work and tripod base. Its tabletop naturally finds its place in an entryway, at the end of a sofa, or near an armchair, to hold a lamp, a book, or a vase. Made of wood, it brings a warm and structured note while maintaining a sober look that easily blends with natural materials, from linen to rattan. Its size also allows it to be slipped against a wall and to hold a bouquet of wildflowers or a ceramic catch-all. Length: 40 cm Width: 40 cm Height: 80 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 sculpted legs of the first models brought back from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large buffets to be broken to create conversation 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.
