A rare find. Mid-century Artecasa Kiaat server, showcasing the brand’s signature balance of clean geometry, warm timber tones, and elegant practicality. The original Artecasa branding remains intact inside the drawer, a welcome detail that affirms its provenance.
The unit features four beautifully organised drawers, each lined with vibrant green felt and two fitted with stepped dividers, perfect for cutlery, barware, or curated storage of smaller household items. The recessed pull handles and smooth, confident glide of each drawer speak to the thoughtful craftsmanship Artecasa was known for.
A full-length lower shelf offers generous space for display baskets, ceramics, books, or serveware, adding both functionality and visual balance.
The Kiaat wood presents beautifully, with its rich grain pattern adding depth and character across the entire structure. Restored and sealed, the piece offers durability while staying true to the timeless South African mid-century design ethos.
Elegant, versatile, and increasingly collectable, a standout addition to any contemporary or vintage-inspired interior.

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.

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.
