This console made of golden metal and black smoked glass adds a contemporary and vintage touch, balancing measured brilliance with darkened transparency. Its two tiers create an elegant support for a lamp, a few art books, or a catch-all, while its niche height allows for easy storage of baskets, boxes, or everyday items. Whether in an entryway or behind a sofa, it dresses up the space without overwhelming the room and interacts with either a simple or more sophisticated decor. The combination of metal and glass gives it a refined look, easily paired with a mirror or a graphic vase. Like any second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few traces of time. Length: 125 cm Width: 36 cm Height: 76 cm Niche height: 62.5 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 feet of the first models brought back from Italy. This mobile piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by breaking the rigidity of large buffets to create conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight, compact structure was designed to be moved according to needs: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
