With its greenish-gray patina, this gray wood side table evokes the understated elegance of a country interior. Its surface serves as a support for a lamp, a book, or a cup. It fits naturally into a living room, at the end of a sofa, or in a bedroom to accompany evening reading. This second-hand piece lends itself equally well to a composition with a stoneware vase or a stack of beautiful books. As a second-hand item, it bears the marks of its past: slight traces of time. Width: 69 cm Depth: 50 cm Height: 75 cm Height under the top: 66 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 [referred to as guéridons] represented on the carved legs of the first models brought from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large sideboards 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.
