With its dark wood and country style, this vintage side table brings a sober and refined touch to a living room or bedroom. Its drawer provides valuable storage for everyday small items, while its top can hold a lamp, a book, or a vase. The proportions of the furniture allow it to easily slide against a wall, next to an armchair, or at the end of a sofa. The discreet presence of this second-hand piece is appreciated, designed to accompany everyday actions with elegance. Adorned with a few books and a cup placed on top, it naturally structures a reading corner. As a second-hand object, it retains the memory of its past: a few traces of time. Length: 55 cm Width: 43.5 cm Height: 72 cm Drawer height: 7 cm A brief history of the side table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table owes its origin to the Moorish slaves [called guéridons] represented on the carved 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 sideboards 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.
