About the Item

This is a Twin Size Headboard that was produced by Charles Webb (designer and craftsman) in the 1970s. Charles Webb trained in architecture at Cornell University, eventually leaving the world of architecture to found a furniture and design company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Webb's work was reserved yet contemporary, with terrific architectural lines and an emphasis on functional works such as this. This headboard is a terrific example of Webb's design ideology, incorporating oak and a slatted design that is typical of Webb's pieces. The headboard measures 2.75 inches thick, 39.5 inches wide, and 30 inches high. This piece does have minor scratches and scuffs, but overall is in good to very good condition. Please see photos.
