This wooden side table brings a rustic, vintage touch to a living room or bedroom. Its soft-hued wood provides a pleasant surface to place a lamp, a book, or a catch-all, while its proportions allow it to easily fit next to a sofa or near an armchair. The material maintains a warm presence and pairs well with natural textiles, a fiber rug, or understated ceramics. In an entrance, it can hold a basket and a few everyday items. Like any second-hand furniture, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of wear. Length: 82 cm Width: 47 cm Height: 60 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 sculpted legs of the first models brought back from Italy. This portable piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing for the breaking of the rigidity of large buffets, creating conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a teacup, or a bedside book.
