Vtg 1989 Hawaii Map Carved Wood Plate Plaque 8\" K&S Hawaiian Creations Tiki Deco For Sale

Welcome to Unicorn Woods!

Thank you for stopping by!! Offered for your consideration is a beautiful item to capture the golden era of mid-to-late 20th-century Hawaiian resort craft and Polynesian pop culture, an authentic 1989 carved wooden map plaque from K&S Hawaiian Creations Inc.

​Rooted in the long-standing tradition of island artisan woodwork, this display plate beautifully blends traditional hand-carved relief borders with classic Pacific cartography. Encircling the center is a deeply chiseled tribal geometric relief reminiscent of vintage Tiki patterns. It is carved into dense, beautifully grained tropical hardwood (Monkeypod or Acacia) and finished with a lustrous, high-gloss clear lacquer.

​The centerpiece showcases an illustrated, aged-parchment nautical map capturing the entire Hawaiian archipelago. It spans from Niʻihau and Kauaʻi through Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Maui, down to the Big Island of Hawaiʻi.

​Rendered with historical maritime romance, the chart is accented with an 8-point nautical compass rose, historic tall ships under full sail, a breaching whale, and major iconic landmarks including Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, Waikiki, Haleakalā, Mauna Kea, and Black Sands.
