With its brass feet, this dark wood side table adds a subtle, refined, chic country touch to a living room or bedroom. Sourced second-hand, it naturally finds its place next to an armchair or sofa, holding a lamp, a book, or a cup for a moment of reading. Its modest size also allows it to be used as an end table or a discreet stand in a corner of a room, without weighing down the space. The contrast between the dark wood and the brass gives it a sober look that is easy to pair with linen, rattan, or antique objects. Like any vintage piece, it bears the marks of its history: light scratches on the tabletop.

A brief history of the side table
Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table owes its origin to the Moorish slaves (called guéridons) depicted on the carved legs of the first models brought back from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by breaking the rigidity of large sideboards to create conversation hubs anywhere in the room. Its light and compact structure was designed to be moved according to one's needs: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
