This beautifully proportioned sideboard is crafted & finished in Kiaat, a timber long prized in South African furniture for its warmth, durability, and expressive figuring.
The piece has been fully restored, with the wood carefully refinished to bring out the depth of colour and natural movement in the grain while preserving its original character.
The design is defined by its clean lines and refined detailing. The drawers and cabinet doors feature recessed wooden pulls, integrated directly into the fronts for a seamless and understated look. These sculpted pulls are both tactile and elegant, reinforcing the sideboard’s minimalist design language while keeping the façade visually uncluttered.
A particularly appealing detail is the fitted cutlery drawer, neatly divided and lined to provide organised storage, while the remaining drawers and cabinet space offer generous storage for tableware, linens, or everyday essentials.
Balanced on solid legs and finished with careful attention to proportion and joinery, this Kiaat sideboard is a versatile and timeless storage piece. It works equally well as a dining sideboard, living room console, or statement storage piece in a modern or vintage led interior.
Condition:
Fully restored and in good condition, with the age-related aspects attended to and only a touch of gentle wear still present. Restored with care and ready for daily use, it is a strong example of enduring South African design.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item/s description. Although every effort is made to refurbish our furniture to represent its original state best, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, and although restored, signs of their vintage condition & age might still be visible. We will normally point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.

All items are carefully wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling.

As with many Mid-Century pieces, this item features a thoughtful combination of solid wood and high-quality wood veneer. Veneer has a long and respected tradition in furniture making, valued for both its aesthetic and structural benefits. When crafted with skill and applied in substantial thickness, vintage veneer proves highly durable, allowing for careful restoration, including retouching, sanding, and refinishing without compromising the integrity of the piece.
