Would you buy this tufted velvet bed ($3,999 for queen)?

Later on as I became a young woman, old ratty tufted velvet fainting couches had a certain appeal. If a piece was red it had a titillating connection to that old fashion bordello style so connected with New Orleans. You know the kind of imagery in the movie "Pretty Baby" where being a whore is kind of romantic and glamorous in a twisted kind of way.
We own one red tufted velvet wing back chair. It's cheap. We got it at a tacky furniture store on St. Claude Avenue for $40. It went in a guest bedroom of our first Bed and Tango, which I tricked out as some kind of bordello experience thinking people would find it funny and fun. No one ever complained, and everyone said they loved the room, Now that chair got hauled upstairs to the hub's office. It is a bitch to keep clean. Lint and dust get encrusted inside the tufting.
Still this is a gorgeous bed...
Go to Casa Sugar if you'd like to be part of the poll HERE
Myself I think the price tag is a tad outrageous, BUT if I could afford one, most probably keeping it clean would be the concern of my Housekeeping Staff :) , not mine. (I do like it but my colour choice would be 'black', not red.)
