Width: 24 cm Depth: 24 cm Height: 50 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 legs of the earliest models brought back from Italy. This nomadic 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 and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to set down a candelabrum, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
