Actually, the term "Man Cave" seems far more appropriate than "Rumpus Room" for an all-Witco lair. :) The Elvis Jungle Room furniture is indeed by the same manufacturer as your piece, WITCO from Mt. Vernon, Washington, which closed shop in 1976. Elvis chose a mixture of Tiki and "Marco Polo" Chinese pieces, plus the Mama Lama bar (not shown): Here are some examples of their Conquistador/Spanish line: Behold the "Monterey Bar"! Crushed velvet goodness! And here is your baby:
