Designed by husband and wife team Helen Hobey Baker in the 1960s, this vintage king-size headboard offers a bold architectural presence with thoughtful detail. The frame features a stepped upper edge that mirrors the inset panels below, creating a rhythmic interplay of depth and shadow. Warm walnut veneer highlights the grain’s natural movement, giving the piece an organic richness that softens its geometric form.
With its clean lines and sculptural silhouette, this headboard makes a striking backdrop for any modern or vintage-inspired bedroom. Its generous scale and symmetrical design ground the room with visual balance while the cut-out corners lend a refined, gallery-like feel. A standout example of high-design American craftsmanship from the mid-century era. Note this a long headboard (nearly 100"— designed to have the nightstands partially of fully in front.
