Width: 60 cm Depth: 40 cm Height: 47 cm A brief history of the side table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table traces its origins to Moorish slaves [called guéridons] depicted on the sculpted legs of the first models brought from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large buffets to be broken, creating conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved according to need: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
