This wooden side table, vintage and country-style, charms with its warm simplicity and the presence of its two trays. Its dark wood gives it a measured look, easy to pair with a linen sofa, a few books, or a lamp placed in the living room. Positioned in an entryway or at the end of an armchair, it offers an elegant support to hold a catch-all, a candle, or a cup of tea. Its proportions allow it to fit naturally where a discreet and refined support is desired. A second-hand piece, it carries the memory of its past: a few traces of time. Length: 62 cm Width: 45.5 cm Height: 66 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 carved feet of the first models brought from Italy. This mobile 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 as needed: to place a candelabrum, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
