This light oak side table combines a country spirit with a discreet art deco appearance, making it suitable for both a living room and an entryway. A second-hand small console, it enchants with its grooves on the legs and its molding work, which highlight simple and elegant lines. Its size is ideal for holding a lamp, a few books, or a catch-all, while bringing a warm touch next to an armchair or against a wall. As a second-hand item, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of use and life, but a wood that has been treated. Length: 61 cm Width: 41.5 cm Height: 64 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 legs of the early 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 light and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
