With its light wood presence, this second-hand side table evokes the understated elegance of country style. Its wood with bright nuances allows it to slip into a living room, at the end of a sofa or near an armchair, to hold a lamp, a book or a cup. The light wood side table offers a useful auxiliary surface without weighing down the room, and its height also makes it a natural support for a vase or a few everyday objects. Carefully selected, it pairs easily with a sober interior, natural materials and antique as well as contemporary furniture. Placed near a window, it holds a bouquet of dried flowers and a stack of beautiful books.

A little history of the side table
Born in the 17th century under the name of "guéridon", the side table owes its origin to the Moorish slaves (called guéridons) represented on the carved legs of the first models brought back from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large buffets to be broken to create conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its light and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea or a bedside book.
