This wooden side table, vintage and with a country spirit, adds a warm touch to a living room or bedroom. Its two trays and niche offer elegant storage for a book, a lamp, or a few everyday items. Its wooden presence allows it to interact with natural materials, a linen armchair, or a ceramic piece placed on top. Positioned next to a sofa or near a bed, it complements usage without weighing down the space. As a second-hand item, it shows signs of its history: a few marks of time. Length: 45 cm Width: 35 cm Height: 69 cm Height of the niche: 43 cm A brief history of the side table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table originates from Moorish slaves [called guéridons] represented on the sculpted legs of the first 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.
