This dark wood side table, found and with a rustic spirit, adds a refined touch to forgotten corners. Its under-shelf provides storage space for a few books, a vase, or everyday items, while its height allows it to accompany an armchair, a side table, or a narrow entryway. The dark wood material emphasizes a sober presence and easily pairs with linen, light ceramics, or a metal lantern. In a living room, it happily hosts a lamp, a stack of beautiful books, and a decorative bowl. As a second-hand piece, it retains the memory of its past: a few traces of time. Length: 22 cm Width: 21.5 cm Height: 97.5 cm Niche height: 54 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] 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 light and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
