Mid Century Modern Cedar Witco Tiki Cat, c1960s
About the Item
Crafted from cedar wood, known for its beautiful grain and enduring quality, this sculpture stands an impressive 41.375 inches high and 5 inches in width and depth. Its vertical format makes it an ideal piece to feature in various spaces within your home, from niches to mantelpieces.
This unique piece of art showcases the distinctive style of Witco, a renowned manufacturer of the mid-century period. The company is famous for its Tiki-inspired designs, and this sculpture is no exception. The characteristic Tiki facial features have been expertly carved into the wood, providing an eye-catching focal point.
While this sculpture bears the signs of its age and past love with a repaired break on the neck and a missing part of the eye, these minor imperfections do not detract from its overall charm. Rather, they add to its character and narrative, telling a story of the piece's rich history and previous adoration.
The patina and grain of the wood have been beautifully preserved, contributing to the piece's inviting warmth and vintage appeal. Despite its age, it's still a stunning example of Witco's iconic mid-century modern design, a testament to their craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of their work.
Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of mid-century history! Please feel free to reach out with any further questions or for additional photos.

Pair of Witco Tiki Carved Cedar Wood Meathead Cat Sculpture Figures
By William Westenhaver / Witco, Witco
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Rare pair of Witco Meathead cat sculptures. The two solid cedar wood carved Meathead cats come complete with their eyes intact. We are mentioning this because these cats are often missing their signature orange and white eyes. These nearly 3-foot tall Witco cats look strikingly similar to the character “Meathead” in the film Meatballs 2.
Vintage 1960s-1970s, carved from solid swamp cedar wood. If you’re into Tiki, then you probably know Witco. Collector’s adore Witco for it’s wild design. The company went full-force in capturing the zeitgeist of exotica in the 1960s. Polynesian, Asian, and tropical culture and aesthetics began to make their way into American homes. Elvis movies and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “South Pacific” introduced America to tiki, Mai Tais and Luas. It’s still tiki time in the hearts of Witco collectors. These larger than life cats are the perfect mascot for your island lounge.
We have several more pieces from Witco including the tall Siamese and trio of smaller cats, a sofa, dining set, conquistador chairs, wall mounted shield...

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...
