This wooden side table adds a soft and refined country touch to a living room or bedroom. Its compact size allows it to easily fit next to an armchair, sofa, or at the end of a bed, while providing a practical surface for a lamp, book, or cup. The drawer with a key adds discreet storage to keep everyday essentials within reach. The light wood gives it a bright appearance that is easy to pair with linen, raw ceramics, or an antique mirror. Carefully sourced, it can also find its place in an entryway, topped with a catchall and a bouquet of dried flowers. Height: 73 cm Diameter: 50 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 [called guéridons] represented on the sculpted legs of the first models brought from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing for the breaking of the rigidity of large buffets to create 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.
