This high wooden pedestal table, made of pink marble and brass, is a vintage find that embodies the elegance of the Louis XVI style in a delicate and rustic interpretation. Its marble top adds a refined touch, while the light wood structure and brass details create a harmonious ensemble that easily complements a living room, entryway, or a corner of a bedroom. Due to its height, it readily accommodates a lamp, a vase, or a few books, while taking up little floor space. In a vintage decor, it can also fit snugly beside an armchair, highlighting a plant or a bouquet. As a second-hand item, it bears the marks of its history: a cracked pink marble top. Length: 31 cm Width: 31 cm Height: 97 cm A brief history of the side table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table originated from Moorish slaves [called guéridons] depicted on the sculpted feet 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 light and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
