Re: Opium Bed

I would like to know if anyone knows how much they think this bed is worth?

Re: Opium Bed

It seems to be in nice condition. They tend to run $1,000 to $2,000 in my experience, but with them all being unique, it's hard to say. There are reproductions (the bottom part, haven't seen any with the whole top and all) selling for $100-$200.The back piece is probably not missing, as this bed was most likely placed against a wall. Are there any screws, or does this piece just interlock and fit together?
