Adopt this small side table with a dark wood top and light wood legs, a refined contrast that brings light and character to your interior. Its proportions allow it to accommodate a lamp, cup, or decorative object next to an armchair or bed, while the natural warmth of the wood creates a sober and welcoming atmosphere. A versatile piece with a clean design, it easily fits into a contemporary living room or reading nook. Some signs of wear. Length: 48 cm Width: 35 cm Height: 48 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 from Italy. This portable furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large buffets to be broken and creating conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its light and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to rest a candle holder, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
