Man Who Bought Furniture From a Sale Finds Out That It’s Worth a Fortune

Anyone who has booked a room at the Redland House Hotel in the town of Hough Green in Chester, UK, knows that the once luxurious hotel has seen better days.

The building was in major need of some renovation, so the hotel staff paid a construction crew to get to work. They worked all day and night, until they found something out of place.

So, when the staff gave Ian Coulson one of their beds, they never imagined that they were handing over a piece of furniture that was in fact worth a fortune.

The piece had been at the hotel for years, but finding out how much it was worth would take figuring out who had slept in the bed before…

The Hotel Used to Be Luxurious

Once upon a time, the Redland House Hotel in Hough Green was the epitome of luxury, but over the years, its red brick exterior and windows started to look a little worse for wear. So, hotel officials decided it needed some remodeling.

Construction Crew Started Renovating

Areas of the hotel that were once filled with guests from everywhere on the planet were now filled with construction workers clearing debris.

And everything had to go, even common hotel room furniture like a precious item that no one realized was valuable.

They Took an Ornate Bed Apart

Among the various pieces of furniture that were targeted for removal was a beautiful oak bed frame and canopy. However, the work crew wasn’t there to admire the furniture.

So, they took the bed apart and carried it to the parking lot a piece at a time. But it didn’t get trashed.

The Bed Had Outlived Its Usefulness

The bed had been part of the hotel’s honeymoon suite for 15 years, and if beds could talk, this one would have had a lot of interesting tales to tell. But it was all over now.

And yet, it was impossible to deny that the bed frame was still beautiful.
