This wooden and beige marble side table adds a touch of country spirit with great moderation. Its wood softens the material, while the beige marble top creates a refined surface for a lamp, a vase, or a few selected books. The two under-shelves provide additional storage for a dried bouquet, a catch-all, or a stack of magazines, all while allowing the main space to breathe. In a living room or entryway, this second-hand side table works well both on its own and against a wall, with a slender and decorative look. As a second-hand piece, it retains the memory of its past: a few traces of time. Length: 31 cm Width: 30.5 cm Height: 108 cm Niche height: 25 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] depicted on the carved legs of the first models brought back from Italy. This mobile piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by breaking 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 set down a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
