Mid-Century Modern Walnut Headboard | Vintage Queen/FULL

This vintage walnut headboard is a striking example of American mid-century case-good design, built around a series of vertical bookmatched veneer panels separated by clean routed grooves. The result is a facade with real depth and movement — a design language rooted in the sculptural, texture-forward furniture that emerged from the 1960s and into the 1970s.

Constructed with solid wood elements throughout, this piece has genuine weight and durability, supported by tapered block legs and a horizontal cross-rail designed for practical home assembly.
