This wall-mounted console in black and gold wood and iron adds a rustic, understated, and refined touch. Sourced second-hand, this small piece of furniture combines a dark wood top with black iron legs, creating a delicate presence in an entrance or living room. Its height allows for a lamp, a catch-all tray, or a few books to be placed on it, while its narrow width makes it easy to lean against a wall without weighing down the space. In an entrance, it holds a ceramic bowl and a bouquet of dried flowers. As a second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of wear. Length: 45 cm Width: 20 cm Height: 52 cm A brief history of the side table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table originated with Moorish slaves [called guéridons] represented on the sculpted legs of the first models brought back from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by breaking the rigidity of large buffets to create conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure were designed to be moved according to need: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
