Adopt this oak side table, simple and warm. Highly slender, its top and under-top provide an ideal support for a lamp, a plant, or your small items, while freeing up floor space. The grain of the oak and the natural patina add a touch of authenticity and a beautiful presence in a contemporary or classic interior. Some traces of time are present. Height: 99 cm Top diameter: 28 cm Bottom diameter: 34 cm A little 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 carved legs of the first 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, creating conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
