In other words, while it is an interesting carved table, not Tiki. Bear |

this is possible, because mexican folk art took off in the 1920s, and it was found next to a 1920s savonarola chair. BUT i can't find anything on mexican folk art anywhere. Burke Hovthe did get back to me and said it may be an original import (!!) from the western import trading company that later inspired witco carvings. i just can't find anything else like it, and it's obviously driving me nuts!!! thanks for your imput. |
