This bed is in excellent condition, and COMPLETE.  Full size bed.  Created by the Art Beadstead Company, Chicago, Ill.  My best guess is late 1800's.  Our family has been in antiques for three generations and none have seen one like this.  I've left the patina, but should you like I'm sure the surfaces would polish perfectly to a bright shine.  thanks

Okay, I've taken $100 off of the price.  I don't want this to go to the scrap metal yard.  There is well over $400 in just brass alone, so if you have any interest in keeping this beautiful piece alive give me a call and come and see it...
