Italian Hollywood Regency Gilt Cast-Iron King Headboard – Ornate Rococo Scroll Design

An exceptional mid-20th-century cast-iron king headboard, designed in the lavish Hollywood Regency style with strong French Rococo influences. This piece features an intricate openwork design of flowing scrolls, acanthus leaves, and floral medallions, all brought to life by a rich dark finish with hand-applied gold highlights that emphasize its sculptural depth and fine detail.

Measuring 51” high by 77 ½” wide, and weighing approximately 55 lbs, this substantial piece is as durable as it is striking. Its bold, decorative pattern serves as a dramatic focal point while maintaining an airy elegance thanks to the open scrollwork. Suited for a king-size bed, this headboard complements a range of high-end interiors, from Hollywood Regency glamour to French provincial chic or eclectic designer spaces.

The craftsmanship, weight, and detailing place this headboard among the most collectible and desirable examples of its kind.
