This second-hand dark wood side table charms with its discreet presence and contemporary spirit. Its square top naturally finds its place next to a sofa or at the foot of a bed, ready to hold a lamp, a book, or a glass within reach. The dark wood gives it a warm tone that is easy to combine, while its simple design allows it to blend into a tidy living room or a bedroom. Sourced with care, it provides an elegant support without weighing down the space. It pairs nicely with a wall sconce and a few beautiful books placed on top, creating a calm and refined ambiance. Width: 34 cm Depth: 34 cm Height: 49 cm A brief history of the side table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table derives its origin from the Moorish slaves [called guéridons] represented on the sculpted legs of the first models brought from Italy. This portable piece of 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 according to needs: to place a candelabrum, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
