Title: Are brass beds out of style now?
Post by: railman44 on September 02, 2009, 04:46:23 PM

Always wanted one.  This fits a double bed and it's the fanciest one I've seen in a long time.  I'm not sure if it came over in a containerized lot from the UK or if it's American.  What do you all think?

It doesn't matter if it is or isn't out of style, follow your heart!!! That's what I did, and every night I curl up to sleep in a beautifully carved antique Chinese bed! If you've always loved them, give this one a good home and you'll never regret it!

I agree!! I would much rather have something unique and diffrent like Tales & her Chinese bed than a run of the mill copy from some store!!! Not sure where it is from but it looks magnificent! I say get it.

Looks Euro , from a first glance .

Nice unit !

Break out the Brasso !

I am a bit curious it is really an 'exact fit' for a dbl box spring , though....
