The bed looks to be an authentic victorian piece. If it's solid wood such as walnut, it's worth the asking price in my estimation. Most antique shops will dicker on their asking price. If you do decide to buy the bed, ask questions like where it came from, etc. It never hurts to have any/some history on an antique. Always check for repairs, damage, etc. before you open the wallet. Always be on the lookout for reproductions.
