SARL KIADE

Sarl Kiade stands at the intersection of maritime heritage and fine jewelry craftsmanship, creating miniature vessels that feel as evocative as the sea itself. For more than two decades, the French atelier has collaborated closely with legendary shipyards—Riva, Chris Craft, Bénéteau, Jeanneau, and more—to craft scale models that honor the original boats with remarkable fidelity. Each piece is handmade from noble materials and shaped using authentic shipyard plans, a process safeguarded by rigorous quality controls and Kiade’s esteemed Certificate of Authenticity. Inspired by the romance of open waters and the artistry of precision detailing, Sarl Kiade transforms nautical icons into collectible objets d’art that bring a sense of escape, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance into the home.

The Sarl Kiade Riva Aquariva scale model is a statement piece that blends nautical sophistication with artisanal French craftsmanship. Its polished fiberglass hull, chromed brass fittings, and high-gloss varnish make it an objet d’art that instantly elevates any refined interior. Consider these placement and styling cues to showcase its elegance with intention and balance.

The Riva Aquariva model is entirely handmade in France using original shipyard plans, ensuring unmatched authenticity and precision. Crafted with fiberglass, chromed brass fittings, marine saddlery, and ten layers of varnish, it reflects the same elegance and engineering excellence that define the iconic full-scale Aquariva Super.

This 84 cm scale model is ideal for console tables, study shelves, executive offices, and display cabinets. Its refined finishes and marine-inspired detailing make it a centerpiece that elevates both contemporary and classic interiors. Placing it under soft lighting enhances the chrome details and high-gloss varnished deck.

Yes, every Sarl Kiade model includes a Kiade Maquettes Certificate of Authenticity. This document confirms that the piece was handcrafted from original plans, built using noble materials, and rigorously quality-checked by specialized jewelers and marine model artisans throughout the production process.

The model measures 84 cm in length, built at a precise 1:12 scale. While the weight may vary slightly due to handcrafted construction, it is designed to rest securely on its display stand. Its substantial size ensures a commanding presence without overwhelming residential or office spaces.

To preserve its shine, gently dust the model with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid moisture, harsh chemicals, and direct sunlight to protect the varnish, saddlery, and metallic finishes. Keeping it inside a display case or on a stable surface helps maintain its pristine condition for years.

Each Aquariva model is crafted using fiberglass and polyester for the hull, chromed brass fittings custom-made by jewelers, and genuine marine saddlery. The deck undergoes ten coats of varnish for a deep, lustrous finish. All components are shaped, fitted, and polished entirely by hand—a testament to Sarl Kiade’s artisanal mastery.
