Length: 53 cm Width: 38 cm Height: 63 cm A Brief History of the Side Table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table finds its origins in the Moorish slaves [called guéridons] depicted on the carved legs of the early models brought back from Italy. This portable furniture revolutionized social life at court by breaking the rigidity of large buffets, creating conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: for placing a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
