i recall the old trader vics in the palmer house had tons of new cladonia tiki panels like those...same carving. they were all around the dining room walls as a decorative element...don't know if this is the same place though it did look that cluttered at one point in time...

Thanks Dave, that would fit the bill, having been built in 1957. Couldn't find that specific "Wall of New Cad" photo I remember seeing, though. Maybe it wasn't on TC. Dang.

Sven, could you be thinking of the Dallas Trader Vic's, as far as the panels?
If I'm correctly understanding what you're referring to, by New Caledonian panel, this restaurant used a lot of them to divide the spaces. Look at Kenike's pics on page 2 of his Trader Vic's, Dallas thread. Also, on page 6, where you were, last week. Is this what you remember?

Sorry, but I only see lots of Chinese tiles, Marquesan posts and some PNG panels in those photos...I tried to make clear what they look like in my initial post above....I think you thought I meant the Chinese tiles?
