Carved from cedar wood, the piece features two abstracted figures locked in an almost whimsical embrace, with elongated forms that feel equal parts tiki, folk art, and mid-century fantasy. The deep carved grooves highlight the natural grain beautifully, giving the sculpture a bold organic presence from every angle. Its original vintage condition adds warmth and character, with the kind of age and surface variation that makes Witco pieces feel especially alive. Sculptural, unusual, and full of charm, this piece works perfectly as a statement object for a console, credenza, bookshelf, or curated mid-century interior. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun Historical Fact\u003c\/strong\u003e Witco became a favorite of the mid-century tiki era, when American homes, lounges, and hotels leaned into tropical-inspired design. William Westenhaver’s carved cedar pieces were known for their exaggerated grain, dramatic textures, and playful primitive-modern forms. Because Witco designs were often bold, strange, and theatrical, they became especially popular in bars, music rooms, and conversation-heavy interiors. Today, collectors love Witco because it captures a fun side of mid-century design that was never afraid to be weird, sculptural, and unforgettable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage Supply","offers":[{"title":"Cedar \/ Brown \/ Mid-Century Modern","offer_id":45085653303496,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1272\/3144\/files\/Foto5-16-26_15719pm.1..jpg?v=1779224012","url":"https:\/\/vintagesupplystore.com\/products\/mid-century-embracing-g-nomies-carved-cedar-sculpture-by-witco-c-1960-s","provider":"Vintage Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
