With its delicate roundness and dark wood, this side table adds a measured country touch. The golden metal details highlight its charm without overwhelming the whole, while the small undertray provides extra storage space for a book, a vase, or some daily essentials. Tall and slender, it naturally fits into a living room or an entryway, where it can hold a lamp or a dried bouquet. Placed next to an armchair, it creates a refined and discreet reading corner. As a second-hand piece, it retains the memories of its past: a few marks of time. Height: 82.5 cm Diameter: 34.5 cm Niche height: 53 cm A little 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 sculpted feet of the earliest models brought back from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large buffets to be broken 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.
