Vintage McGuire of San Francisco "Cracked Ice" Rattan Headboards - 2 Twin / King

Elevate your bedroom with this authentic pair of mid-century organic modern panel headboards by the iconic McGuire of San Francisco. Designed around the late 20th century, these pieces showcase Elinor McGuire’s highly coveted 1968 "Cracked Ice" geometric fretwork design, which beautifully mimics the look of shattered glass using natural materials. Crafted from premium-grade, honey-toned thick rattan poles with the brand's signature leather-wrapped joints, they offer an elegant blend of California casual comfort and Hollywood Regency sophistication. This versatile pair can be styled individually behind two twin beds for a guest room or mounted side-by-side to serve as a stunning architectural backdrop for a standard king-sized bed.

CONDITION
Fair to Good vintage/pre-owned condition. Structurally sound, stable, and ready to install. Visually gorgeous, though showing clear signs of its historic lifecycle. Notably, one headboard has a few chunks missing out of the top rattan rail. The set is missing some of the original mounting hardware and shows light cosmetic scratching and wear surrounding the pre-drilled hardware holes. The leather-wrapped bindings remain tightly bound and stable across both frames.

Please review all photos carefully for additional condition details. Vintage furniture will typically show some evidence of its previous life, and we consider age-appropriate wear part of its character. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests for additional photos or measurements.
