With its brass feet, this dark wood side table adds a chic country touch, subtle and refined, to a living room or bedroom. Sourced second-hand, it naturally finds its place next to an armchair or sofa and holds a lamp, a book, or a cup for a moment of reading. Its measured volume also allows it to be used as an end table or a discreet support in a corner of the room, without weighing down the overall look. The contrast between the dark wood and brass gives it a sober appearance, easy to pair with linen, rattan, or antique objects. Like any second-hand piece of furniture, it bears the marks of its history: slight scratches on the top. Length: 47 cm Width: 47 cm Height: 53.5 cm Diameter: 47 cm Niche height: 16 cm A little 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 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 according to needs: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
