Made in the 1700s, it used to be an overdoor, perched atop a church door in Portugal.

The patina is original, though the fabric padding has been added.

It measures about 11 feet wide and over eight feet tall, though the overall height can be adjusted. The top of the headboard protrudes over two feet from the wall.

It splits into three pieces to allow for easier moving, but it still takes three people to transfer.

And it can all be yours for $12,000.

This listing was posted on the Lakewood/East Dallas Online Garage Sale group on Facebook.

In the comments, a couple of people complimented the headboard, wishing they could have it.

But one person was much more skeptical.

“How many demons call this thing home, tho,” Kevin Hampton asked. “I’m not really into visitors from other realms when I’m asleep.”

This isn’t the only antique item that has been listed on the garage sale site. We’ve also seen old birthing chairs and furniture.
