Beds and headboards are the most commonly orphaned pieces. Sometimes they don't fit in a room or the buyer doesn't have a matching sized mattress. This is another orphaned headboard.
This walnut headboard by Lane has a unique feature that I have not run into before. It is reversible. One side is beautifully figured walnut with fine groove detail running along its perimeter. The other side also has beautiful walnut but with a cane panel along the top half. The cane is in great shape with only one small break in one row of the weave. Both sides are freshly refinished.
I don't always love the headboards that come with the mid century sets. To me they seem to be the most dated looking of the pieces. The simple design of this headboard makes it much more timeless and suitable for use in a mid century bedroom or a more contemporary. It looks very similar to a design by Paul Mccobb, whose designs are highly sought after because of their timeless style. The headboard would have originally been paired with a simple steel bedframe. I'd look for a platform frame to pair it with that would contemporize the design even more.
Dimensions: 80.5"W x 40"H (18" to bottom of headboard panel, you'd want the top of the
mattress to be about 18"-20" from the floor)
