Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Etsy. Local pickup via Facebook Marketplace is best due to the fragility and high cost of shipping large lamps and shades. Etsy is suitable for a higher price point if you are willing to double-box and ship.
Selling Tips
Replace the stained shade with a clean, modern white linen drum shade to instantly modernize the look and increase value. Use keywords like 'Hollywood Regency', 'Shabby Chic', 'Cabbage Rose', and 'Grandmillennial'. Clean the brass base with a microfiber cloth before photographing.
