Chandeliers

My aunt has these chandeliers that she wants me to sell for her.  I know nothing about them.  Any suggestions on value or any input you can give would be great.  IMG_5059.JPGResized_20210407_164426.jpg

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?
