Witco yes. Tiki no.

Not all Witco is Tiki (this is not), just as not all Tiki is Witco. The best Witco is Tiki and midcentury modern-style. Then there is conquistador Witco, viking Witco, baroque Witco...this I would call medieval Witco, not very sought after....unless, for whatever reason, you are building a dungeon in your basement :)

But also, this is YOUR Witco, and if YOU like it, it is of value.

Thanks for info. I was thinking it was a chess piece. Its definitely mid-century as was the rest of the estate collection i recieved.
Anymore info would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully your questions have been answered. Good luck with your auction!

Moving this Non-Tiki Witco to Beyond Tiki.

Correct me if I am wrong but Witco isnt tiki at all. Maybe tiki style but actually its American Kitsch.
