Vintage Witco Rustic Carved Wood Conquistador Dining Set with Red Fur Chairs

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.

An ultra-rare Witco fireplace tool set from the 1960s-70s era, this piece combines sculpted swamp cedar, bold Brutalist metal panels, and original wrought-iron tools for a convergence of carving, utility, and theatrical decor. Measuring approximately 9 inches wide × 7.75 inches deep × 41.5 inches high, it offers commanding vertical presence while remaining slender enough to frame a hearth without intruding. Hand-carved in solid swamp cedar, the rack incorporates Witco’s signature chainsaw tiki carving toward its top and base. On each side sit torch-cut, Brutalist-style metal panels that flank the carved wood, restored to their original look including a verdigris patina, giving contrast to the richness of wood. The set includes original wrought-iron fire tools—a poker, a shovel, and a brush—each bearing period scroll-work that complements the dramatic aesthetic of the rack. Restoration has been both sympathetic and thorough. The metal panels were refinished; rust and oxidization addressed while preserving aged character. The wood displays some light wear and age-appropriate splits in the cedar, marks that speak to its authentic vintage origin. The fire tools show use—some paint loss, light scratching—but are sound and functional. This piece isn’t just functional—it’s decorative storytelling. In interiors that embrace strong material contrasts, wood texture, or mid-century exoticism, it becomes a centerpiece. It pairs beautifully with warm woods, stone, terracotta, tropical plantings, or décor landscapes that welcome dramatic form and texture. Its scale works well beside a large fireplace, on a wall that draws light, or in a lounge where atmosphere is part of the ambience. For collectors of Witco’s iconic carving, mid-century tiki culture, or those who prize sculptural, made-by-hand tools and accents, this fireplace set is rare. It offers history, craft, and the kind of presence that transforms utility into art. Vintage 1960s-1970s, carved from solid swamp cedar wood. If you’re into Tiki, then you probably know Witco.
