Design & Style (1970s Vintage Brutalist):This striking headboard is an authentic piece from American of Martinsville’s highly coveted Collection #2317, produced during the 1970s. It perfectly captures the bold, architectural essence of the Mid-Century Brutalist movement, which is incredibly trendy and highly sought after by collectors today. The design showcases a masterful contrast of textures, featuring rich, heavily figured swirling burl wood veneers beautifully framed by clean, graphic vertical wood slats. It is a stunning, statement-making piece of furniture that brings unmistakable vintage character and high-end MCM craftsmanship into any modern space.

Sizing & Versatility (Fits Full or Queen):This gorgeous vintage American of Martinsville headboard measures 60 inches wide, making it highly versatile for modern bedrooms. It can be used seamlessly as a standard Full-size headboard with a traditional frame, where the wood will beautifully overhang the mattress by 3 inches on each side to accommodate plush bedding. It can also be styled perfectly as a Queen-size headboard, where the wood frame will sit completely flush with the outer edges of a modern Queen mattress. To mount it securely to a standard modern Queen metal frame, the buyer will just need to purchase an inexpensive set of "Full-to-Queen Bed Frame Modification Plates" (available online for around $10–$15), which easily bridge the bracket gap.
