This wooden side table captivates with its burgundy marble top, whose harmony with the wood creates a refined presence, in a country spirit. Its height allows it to accommodate a lamp, a vase, or a few books in a living room, while its lower shelf and the storage space at the bottom provide additional support for everyday items. Its format can also slide against a wall in an entryway or near an armchair, where it serves as a support for a plant or a catch-all. On the marble, a candle and a bouquet of dried flowers create an elegant scene. As a second-hand item, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of time.

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.
