With its dark wood and rural spirit, this vintage side table brings a warm touch next to a sofa or in a bedroom. Its measured size allows it to fit in wherever one wishes to keep a useful surface without cluttering the space, while its niche accommodates a book, some magazines, or an everyday object. The drawer, featuring an antique metal handle, completes the set with discreet storage for small accessories. Length: 44 cm Width: 43 cm Height: 66 cm Drawer height: 6.5 cm Niche height: 15 cm A brief 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 early 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 lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
