Description
This couch was purchased in the early 1990’s at an estate sale in Minnesota for around $500. The upholstery has come loose to some extent, it still has the original stuffing. We called it a fainting couch because it looked like other pieces given that name. It is unusual in that it opens into a bed and we hadn’t seen one do this. The couch is 6 feet wide and 3 feet high.

Values for pieces like this peaked when you bought this in the 1990's. It's in the Eastlake style which was first popular from about 1870-1890. In the current market comparable example often go at auction for less than $150.00.
