Aesthetic brass beds don't pop up often to my recollection, nor to "aesthete", who alerted us to the bed in the forum. This one is being offered on Ebay at an asking price of $4,300 and considering how infrequently you run into one, that may not be an unrealistic price. I'm wondering if it was more common/popular to have this style of bed in the UK than it seems to have been in the U.S.; thus the reason for their rarity. In doing some brass bed research, I read that it seems that simpler styles were more popular for both the high and low end. More photos available at the listing.eBay Antiques · originally published
