A beautifully proportioned Kiaat writing desk, fully restored and re-sealed to highlight the wood’s warm golden-brown hues and distinctive grain. The clean-lined design is enhanced by recessed pull handles, adding a refined mid-century touch. Also, a stunning Kiaat backboard - perfect for hiding cables, etc.
The right-hand side features two practical drawers with a handy open storage compartment above, perfect for keeping books, stationery, or small electronics close at hand. While the surface is in excellent restored condition, there is a very faint mark from previous use — a subtle mark of its history that does not affect its beauty or structural integrity.
Ideal for a home office, study nook, or stylish workspace, this desk combines everyday functionality with timeless design flair.

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.
