You indeed have two nice Witco pieces. Humu was correct, there is a companion chair that completes this set and can be seen in several threads found on Tiki Central. Here is one I started when I began to restore the pair I purchased (with the help of leleliz) last year: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=36201&forum=18&26 But there are several others Witco threads residing on this website. Use the search button and hundreds of Witco posts can be found here. As for the value? Not many here are willing to provide an exact value on Witco as it varies from state to state and the tiki collectible market is down price-wise right now, but I would stick my neck out and guess the chair in the condition you have it in is probably worth between $200-$300 and the lamp is probably in the $150-$250 range (higher if you have an original lampshade). This is based on what I have seen them go for on eBay and other threads selling like Witco items. But, like all things bought and sold, the only real value is what someone is willing to pay, so keep that in mind if you decide to sell them. Hope that helps you... PTD
