With its dark wooden top and grey legs, this vintage side table boasts a contemporary look, enhanced by the spirit of the sixties. It easily fits at the end of a sofa in a living room, ready to hold a lamp, a few books, or a drink within reach. Its simple design highlights the contrast between wood and metal, providing a measured presence that is easy to integrate. Slipped next to a reading armchair, it holds a cup, an open book, and a bouquet in a ceramic vase. As a second-hand piece, it carries the memory of its past: the legs shift slightly, and some marks are visible on its painted feet. Width: 65 cm Depth: 40 cm Height: 48 cm Height under the top: 46 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 sculpted legs of the first models brought back from Italy. This nomadic 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 set down a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
