This light rattan and glass side table brings a refined country touch with its round shape and transparent top that lightens the whole piece. The rattan structure interacts with the glass to create a second-hand piece of furniture with discreet charm, easy to match with a linen sofa, a wooden armchair, or some books placed on it. Its size allows it to be set up in a living room or bedroom, next to a seat, to hold a lamp, a vase, or a cup. It combines the warmth of rattan and the visual lightness of glass in a naturally styled room. Like any vintage furniture, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of time. Height: 51 cm Diameter: 65 cm A short 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] represented on the carved 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 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.
