A striking and uncommon king-size headboard from the mid-century era, likely dating to the 1960s - 1970s. Featuring bold, angular lines and a warm mahogany finish, this piece blends timeless design with practical functionality.
At its center, a built-in storage compartment with two smooth-sliding doors offers ample space for cushions, blankets, or books, keeping your bedroom neat and clutter-free. On either side, two floating pedestals are seamlessly attached, each with a shelf and drawer for personal items, and enough surface space to accommodate bedside lamps or décor.
The Sapele Mahogany wood has been carefully restored and sealed, highlighting its rich natural grain and ensuring lasting durability.
This is a rare and beautifully crafted piece - perfect for those seeking a statement headboard with character and function.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item/s description. Although every effort is made to refurbish our furniture to represent its original state best, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, and although restored, signs of their vintage condition & age might still be visible. We will normally point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.
As with most Mid-Century pieces, it is a good combination of solid wood and a high-quality wood veneer. The history of veneer on furniture is a long and honorable tradition, and it depends on the veneer's artistry, condition, and thickness the quality of the old veneer was long-lasting; for this reason, it can be retouched or sanded and refinished.
