Brass and Mirrored Ello Queen Headboard, 1980's

1980s Ello Queen Headboard – Miami Vice, But Make It Chic

This 1980s postmodern Ello queen headboard is here to make your bedroom feel like a glitzy penthouse in a high-rise overlooking Biscayne Bay. Designed by the iconic Ello Furniture—aka the masters of mirrored, high-shine, unapologetically fabulous pieces—this headboard is the epitome of Miami Vice meets Wall Street power suit energy.

Let’s talk details, because this beauty is not your basic headboard. A brass frame with architectural lattice-style side posts—think floating, sculptural, and futuristic. The side posts? Triangular brass cylinders, connected to the headboard with four brass rods, creating negative space for that sleek, levitating effect. The main headboard? A total showstopper, featuring five mirrored panels spaced with brass dividers, giving it that two-tone, Rolex-inspired drama—gold and silver, shining and sultry, just the right amount of excess.

It’s luxe. It’s bold. It’s giving "I close million-dollar deals before brunch" energy. And because function matters too, you can either mount it to the wall (DIY royalty, we see you) or pair it with standard rails for an instant upgrade.

A Brief History of Ello: Founded in 1969 and peaking in the glam-tastic 1970s and ‘80s, Ello was the go-to brand for mirrored, brass-accented, high-design furniture. Their aesthetic? A seamless blend of modernist minimalism with decadent, over-the-top glam—perfect for those who appreciate both clean lines and dramatic finishes. Think of them as the furniture equivalent of a champagne tower in a penthouse suite.

This isn’t just a headboard. It’s an experience. So if you’re ready to wake up feeling like a 1980s mogul (or just want your bedroom to look that good), you know what to do.
