This brown wood and marble side table, vintage and country-style, appeals with the combination of noble materials and a presence that is understated. Its marble top rests on a dark wood structure, while its two under-shelves provide additional support for a vase, a lamp, or a few books. The magazine and vinyl storage readily welcomes your favorite covers, in an entryway, living room, or next to a turntable. Its height allows it to serve as a slender support without taking up much floor space. Filled with beautiful vinyl records and topped with a dried flower, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of time. Length: 32 cm Width: 32 cm Height: 118 cm Niche height: 45 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 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.
