Here is the Triple Maori table lamp that is shown at Oceanic Arts catalog and in store collection. I spotted this photo of a similar lamp in situ at the Palms in the Jungle restaurant in Anaheim. Can't remember seeing this one anywhere else. Looks a little like the Kona Kai signature Tiki. DC |

DC! Great shots and great detective work. It's one thing to see these lamps in a case but there is something really cool to imagine a time and era where it was just part of the general decor. A fun night out at a cool fun place. And your pictures definitely capture that! |

That's Pania of the Reef, based on the famous statue on the waterfront in Napier, New Zealand. See the following Tiki Central link from 2006: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=18638&forum=5 The lamp stand version turns up in New Zealand from time to time and is very collectible. |

Picked this up from the estate sale of an elderly neighbor. It is electrified so I don't know if it is from a restaurant/bar but who knows? Coconut base with tapa cloth shade. I like how the maker carved into the coconut to show the inside and outside. Measures 15 1/2" tall. Older cord plug and light switch so it definitely has some age to it.

Not sure either, but the Rapa Nui Birdmen on either side of the "Tiki" led me to believe it was some sort of Polynesian likeness? Thanks, PTD |

With the way American designers took their liberties with Tiki style, it is not impossible that one decided to mix mainland and island primitive art :) |

Saw this lamp today and was wondering if anyone is familiar with it. The base of the lamp is a large ceramic Kundu drum in the style of Papua New Guinea. The overall height of the lamp including the shade (which I believe to be original) is about 4 feet. There are no markings to identify it. Thanks for your comments.

Found these from the Mauna Loa last fall at an estate sale. I've had one without a shade for years, but these are in perfect shape -Z |

Thanks for the info guys. After a little more research, it looks like Amazon is the place for the chimney replacements, about $7 with with free shipping. Here is another of the OA triple Hawaiian war god lamps I spotted on ebay. It has a cool wood base - had not seen one like that before. DC |
