It looks like it would be described as "wrought iron chandelier with crystal accents," so I tried that in a search on Completed Listings and got this:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=wrought+iron+chandelier+crystal+accents&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat...
You should also search Completed Listings with terms such as "Country French," "French Farmhouse," "Shabby Chic," and so on.
But, as 1tuna notes, packing and shipping is going to be a bear, and not cheap. Each crystal must be removed and wrapped separately. Yards of wrap must be wound around every bit of the thing itself. The whole should then be double-boxed. So think carefully to decide if it's worth your while to list these on eBay.

Sell it as a "local pickup only". There are so many things that can go wrong with items like this. You can also bet the buyer will go over it with a fine-tooth comb and if they find any flaws/chips that you may miss in the crystals, they can return it. I saw one with a shipping cost of $85, if they return it who will pay that addl return shipping cost? When they return it will they re-wrap it with the same care as you wrapped with?
You must have a consignment shop or antique shop in your area, right?
