Vintage Witco Tiki King Throne Hand-Carved Highback Chairs in Faux Leopard Fur
By William Westenhaver / Witco, Witco
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Take a walk on the wild side, or maybe just have a seat there with scepter in hand. Each chair has been recovered in high-quality, cruelty free, faux-fur that very much resembles the look and feel of leopard fur. Adorned top to bottom with hand-carved intricate detail. These highly collectible and hard to find thrown chairs were born of the jet-set era. The 1960s was the golden age of air travel and Americans were absolutely fascinated with “Exotica.” Ephemera from exotic tropical lands around South Asia were all the rage and gave birth to an explosion of tiki motifs in popular American culture. This project was a complete tear-down and rebuild. Every section was unbolted and individually restored. This sinuous, dark cedar has been painstakingly detailed by our in-house restoration team to both preserve the patina and address any imperfections in the wood. Lightly recolored and clear-coated to accentuate and preserve the character. The seats and backs were professionally reupholstered, and the results speak for themselves. We're more than certain these will exceed expectations. Robert Post Junior and Artist William Westenhaver Created Witco in 1959. The two capitalized on the exotica trend by creating lavishly bold, roughly carved wood furniture and decor. The delightfully dramatic furniture was so beloved during the period that Elvis created an entire “Jungle Room” in his Graceland home featuring Witco furniture! Witco remains a mainstay among collectors today. You can even see original Witco pieces still in use at Graceland, and other iconic tiki venues like Polynesian Gardens, the Hawaiian Inn, and the Aku Tiki Inn all located in Florida. We have other Witco items available including a pair of these conquistador chairs with arms, Witco cat...

Restored Witco Tiki Carved Wood Frog Ottoman Toad Stool
By Witco, William Westenhaver / Witco
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Jump at the opportunity to own this adorable Witco frog ottoman. This frog foot stool is one of the most rare Witco pieces. Call it what you will, a footstool, or a toad stool. He’s a seat for your bottom or your feet. The tiki inspired frog was carved from a single piece of swamp cedar wood. These Witco foot stools seldom come to market. When they do pop up, they’re battered and tattered. This charming guy is has been beautifully restored. The faux leopard upholstery is new. Mr. Froggy is looking chipper with freshly painted eyes and mouth, matching original spec. Fortunately, he has his original knobby eyeballs. The seat turns so you and Mr. Froggy can keep watch. You’ll have a grin just as big when you make this guy a part of your home. We have several more pieces from Witco including a sofa, dining table with chairs, group of large and small cat figurines, wall mounting shield...

Carved Tiki Arm Chairs by William Westenhaver for WITCO, Pair, circa 1950
By William Westenhaver / Witco, Witco
Located in Los Angeles, CA
These two (2) ornately crafted red walnut armchairs with carved exotic details are a testament to William Westenhaver's Modern Primitive creations. Westenhaver joined forces with Western International Trading Company in 1957 to bring his vision of Polynesian inspired furniture to life. Witco successfully brought the "tiki-fever" found in bars and restaurants of the era, directly into the American home. The red walnut frames are embellished with carved scrolls, markings and flourishes, as was evident in the Pop Primitivism movement. These sturdy lounge chairs are upholstered in gold crushed velvet, an Apt fabric choice for these regal looking chairs. Being a fan of the movement, Elvis Presley created a "Jungle Room", dressed entirely in Witco furnishings at his Graceland Estate. If you're assembling your own "Jungle Room", enticed by the tropical trend in decor right now, or curating a design scheme that incorporates some whimsey these pieces would aptly achieve those notions. Measurements: 34.75" H x 33.5" W x 40.5" D Seat height: 17" Very good vintage condition. As expected, minor signs of use commensurate with its age are evident. Please contact us for a full condition report. We also have a matching Witco sofa...
