<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 391736, member: 33&quot;]Have you contacted stores in the Chicago area that specialize in antique lighting? I used to live in Chicago (and grew up in northwest Indiana) and know there are some. They may want to buy some or all of what you have. But I guess it&#039;s the appraisal that is the issue here because you would want to know what these things might bring on the market. You&#039;ll probably need to pay somebody to come and appraise, even if you don&#039;t go the auction route. Which I also think you should consider -- look for reviews of auction companies, though. There are so many.</p><p><br /></p><p>And from your post it sounds like your parents do have lots of other antiques, but the lighting is the main part of it? So for appraisals you could go to a broader auction company, or look at a site like this: <a href="https://www.isa-appraisers.org/find-an-appraiser" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.isa-appraisers.org/find-an-appraiser" rel="nofollow">https://www.isa-appraisers.org/find-an-appraiser</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There are 5 people on that site that include Lamps &amp; Lighting Fixtures among their specialty areas. Two of them are located in Chicago.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.isa-appraisers.org/find-an-appraiser/results/List?specialties=114" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.isa-appraisers.org/find-an-appraiser/results/List?specialties=114" rel="nofollow">https://www.isa-appraisers.org/find-an-appraiser/results/List?specialties=114</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Best wishes, and Welcome![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
