A gorgeous, DS Vorster & Co, queen-size headboard in Sapele Mahogany with attached pedestals. This piece was manufactured by the renowned South African, DS Vorster during the 60's.
Stunning clean lines to fit in with any interiors. We have removed the previous handles and updated them with cool contemporary black mild steel powder-coated handles with just the right amount of detail. The headboard is divided into two pieces that when joined fit a queen size base and mattress. The wood has been fully restored, stripped, sealed and the piece is in superb vintage condition. Please measure your bed prior to purchasing.

As with mostly all Mid-Century pieces, it is a good combination of solid wood AND a high-quality wood veneer. The quality, old veneer was long-lasting and for this reason, it can be retouched or sanded and refinished. The history of veneer on furniture is a long and honorable tradition, and it depends on the workmanship, condition and thickness of the veneer itself
