Invite nostalgia into your home with this charming school desk that can cleverly be transformed into a side table or an entryway console. Its timeworn patina speaks of a well-lived life and adds a warm and authentic touch to your decor. The old ceramic inkwell, subtly integrated, provides the opportunity to accommodate a lamp cord, illuminating your evenings [or your hallway]. A piece of vintage furniture that, while being stable, will charm you with its unique character and beautiful story. A few signs of use that add to its authenticity. Width: 65 cm Depth: 43.5 cm Height: 81.5 cm A little 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 legs of the first models brought back from Italy. This portable piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of grand buffets to be broken, creating 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.
