This wooden side table, vintage and with a country spirit, charms with its discreet presence and warm material. Its round shape allows it to fit into a living room or a bedroom, where its top can hold a lamp, a vase, or a book. The drawer provides valuable storage for small everyday items, while the niche willingly accommodates a few magazines, a folded throw, or a lightweight basket. Its height makes it an ideal side table at the end of a sofa or near an armchair. Like any vintage piece, it carries the memory of its history: a few traces of time. Height: 68 cm Diameter: 34.5 cm Drawer height: 6 cm Niche height: 31 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 earliest 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 according to needs: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
