Extremely rare and MASSIVE Tiki Bar with stools produced by Witco Furniture circa 1960s. Rarely do you see a true "tiki bar" and this one is among the rarest and the most desirable ever produced by Witco. Similar examples can be found in the "Jungle Room" at Elvis Graceland home, in several Trader Vics and Tiki Hang-outs across the USA. This particular bar may have been a custom order due to its impressive size and quality.
The bar and stools are comprised of solid wood which appears to be cypress and cedar. The depth of the wood grain, color and figure really adds to the intricate and detailed cravings. The stool seats swivel and each one retains its original "fun fur" upholstery in off-white. The Tiki Gods are numerous, huge and well sculpted. Their heads are everywhere! To the sides, to the front; even on the legs of the barstools!
Please view the many pics of this rare, functional and highly decorative item! It is sure to make fine addition to any mid century, Hawaiian or Polynesian-style home! Also note, with a proper finish, this set could be used outdoors near a pool area or lanai!
