The dark wooden round side table adds a discreet and refined country touch, with a vertical presence that dresses up a corner without overwhelming it. Its two tiers provide space for a lamp, a vase, or a few books, while the niche willingly accommodates a basket or chosen objects. In a living room or an entryway, this second-hand piece of furniture lends itself equally well to staging with ceramics or to everyday use as a side table. As a second-hand item, it bears the marks of its past: a few signs of time. Height: 110 cm Diameter: 33.5 cm Niche height: 75 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 sculpted legs of the early models brought back from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the breaking of 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 set down a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
