This light rattan side table is charming with its rustic spirit and the softness of its woven material. Second-hand, it features two trays with a low space under the upper tray, ideal for holding books, a lamp, or a catchall in both a living room and an entryway. Its bright rattan easily pairs with linen, raw wood, or matte ceramics, while adding a warm touch to the room. Placed next to an armchair, it holds a bouquet of dried flowers and a few magazines. As a second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few traces of time. Length: 48 cm Width: 29 cm Height: 55 cm Height of the niche: 29 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 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.
