This wooden side table embodies a countryside spirit, with a discreet presence and a patina that highlights its material. Its two tops offer an elegant support for a lamp, some books, or a cup by the couch, while the lower space willingly accommodates a basket or magazines. Second-hand, this vintage piece can also fit into an entryway to receive keys and mail, or in a living room to complement a wooden chair and natural textile. One can imagine it topped with a ceramic vase and a stack of beautiful books. As a second-hand item, it bears the mark of its past: a few traces of time. Length: 75 cm Width: 56.5 cm Height: 66 cm Height of the niche: 49.5 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] represented on the sculpted legs of the first models brought back from Italy. This nomadic piece revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large buffets to be broken, creating conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its light and compact structure was designed to be moved around as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
