Crafted of fine rosewood, this early 20th-century footed headrest was once used by an upper-class woman in lieu of a pillow. Gently curving to support her head and neck at rest, the headrest also helped to preserve her intricate hairstyle. This particular headrest is fitted with a petite drawer, used to store precious keepsakes while one slept. Since the drawer only opens when the headrest is upright on its side, the owner could rest easy knowing her valuables were safe.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
