Description

This magnificent antique headboard commands attention with its towering turned cannonball finials, elegantly lathe-turned posts, and a richly grained solid walnut panel that showcases gorgeous natural figuring throughout. The serpentine-cut top rail features classic dentil molding detail along its upper edge, flanked by sculpted ogee cutouts where the posts pass through — a hallmark of American Federal or Colonial Revival furniture making. Measuring approximately 80 inches wide and standing roughly 48 inches tall to the top of the finials, this is a king-sized statement piece ready to anchor any bedroom with old-world gravitas. The lower portion retains its original mortise-style post legs with period-appropriate iron bed rail hardware brackets still attached, making reconnection to side rails a straightforward proposition for the savvy buyer.
