Vintage Tiki Style Witco Dining Table With Leaf by William Westenhaver

About the Item

This is the first time in 13 years of business that we've had this illusive WItco Dining Table. The base on this is really a spectacle of pure tiki madness. The box-pedestal style is also interesting and unique in the way it evokes the look of an old printing press. Solid cedar from top to bottom on this carved creation. Plenty of detail all around the table-top edge, lets you know this is from the wild world of Witco. Not for the faint of heart, but isn't that the best part? 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. This highly collectible and hard-to-find table was 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. 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. Original set of (4) red fur chairs also available and sold separately (see pic). We also have other Witco items available including conquistador chairs in new leopard upholstery, Witco end table, and Witco cat. All of these pieces are sold separate. Contact us if you are interested in any of the other Witco pieces. measures: 59.5”- 71.5” Long x 41.5” Wide x 28.5” High One leaf: 12” Wide

  • '2' Restored Vintage Witco Conquistador Tiki Throne Chairs in Original Red Fur
    By William Westenhaver / Witco, Witco
    Located in Chattanooga, TN
    Pair of restored Witco Conquistador tiki throne chairs in original red fur. These chairs are absolutely wild in the best kind of way. The original red fur fabric has a thick pile. This bright red upholstery adds drama to the high-back, iron cladded, hand-carved throne. As if all that isn’t enough.. the arms are carved like gorilla paws. Each throne chair is crowned with two hand-carved conquistador heads donning their iconic helmets. 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. We have four of these chairs available, two arm chairs and two armless chairs. This listing is for just the two armchairs. The two armless chairs are sold separate. We also have the matching dining table, sold separate. We have other Witco items available including conquistador chairs in new leopard upholstery, Witco end table, and Witco cat...

  • 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.
