With its dark wood and rustic spirit, this second-hand side table adds a warm and refined touch to a living room or bedroom. Its drawer provides discreet storage to keep glasses, a notebook, or a remote control within reach while leaving the top free for a lamp or a book. It easily slides against a wall, near an armchair, or at the end of a sofa, and naturally complements a simple decor of wood and woven fibers. Its patinated appearance gives it a measured presence, making it ideal for creating a reading nook or holding a cup and a few everyday items. As a second-hand piece, it carries the memory of its past: a few signs of time. Length: 68 cm Width: 46 cm Height: 75 cm Drawer height: 8 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] depicted on the carved legs of the earliest models brought back from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by breaking the rigidity of large buffets to create 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.
