thanks for the feedback. Someone had mentioned Castilian Spanish design to me previously but I haven't found any similar furniture on-line of the Castilian Spanish Style that has the same designs as I see on this furniture.

Was there a Castilian Spanish style of furniture that was copying the Witco style? Or anyone else that was doing Witco styled furniture at that time.... like Witco knock-offs or something..... Because like I said, I'm not seeing these type of designs on the Castilian Spanish

during my searches on line I found a picture of this guitar .... we had this exact same guitar as part of the furniture set, but gave it away years ago... Is this Witco?

again thanks so much for your feedback

There was a lot of cheaper "Castilian Spanish design" (copied/knockoff) based furniture made in Mexico
and sold in the USA at the time also, but the quality furniture was made with more expensive wood & was imported from Spain.
these look more like furniture made in Mexico, but if you can find any labels it can help to identify them
if it was from Mexico it would be either unlabeled or say "Mexico" usually burnt into the wood.

The imported furniture from Spain normally has the manufacture or artist/carver on a metal plaque or engraved somewhere.
