About the Item

Jump at the opportunity to own this adorable Witco frog ottoman. This frog foot stool is one of the most rare Witco pieces. Call it what you will, a footstool, or a toad stool. He’s a seat for your bottom or your feet. The tiki inspired frog was carved from a single piece of swamp cedar wood. These Witco foot stools seldom come to market. When they do pop up, they’re battered and tattered. This charming guy is has been beautifully restored. The faux leopard upholstery is new. Mr. Froggy is looking chipper with freshly painted eyes and mouth, matching original spec. Fortunately, he has his original knobby eyeballs. The seat turns so you and Mr. Froggy can keep watch. You’ll have a grin just as big when you make this guy a part of your home. We have several more pieces from Witco including a sofa, dining table with chairs, group of large and small cat figurines, wall mounting shield, and conquistador chairs. All pieces are sold separately. Inquire if you are interested. The seat is newly upholstered in faux-leopard fur, plush and richly textured, offering contrast to the rough-hewn cedar and adding theatrical flair. Fur is taut and dense; leather hides and stains are newly refreshed. Small age-appropriate wear remains in the wood — fine hairlines, minor patina in crevices, slight unevenness in color from exposure. These lend authenticity and narrative rather than detract. The carving remains solid, structurally sound, ready for use. Visually the footstool becomes instant focal point — amusing, sculptural, compelling. He balances beautifully in eclectic interiors, tiki bars, dens, or rooms that treasure texture and personality. This listing is for the frog foot stool alone. The chairs are sold separately. 15” Wide x 23.5” Deep x 16” High Seat 15” Diameter 30lbs Condition: Restored with new faux leopard fur upholstery. New paint on nose and eyes as well as some original paint. Eye knobs are original. Light age appropriate wear on wood.
