My children (in their 50) like friends kid who were left to clean out house, are minimalists.
They dont want our trinkets and trash (paintings, fine antique furniture, china, silver tableware, figurines, etc), even jewelry. I know MrsM's jewelry, some dating back more than a hundred and fifty years and some pieces in the high 5 figure appraisal value, will end up being sold at scrap gold, platinum and silver plus diamonds (one 5ct) prices. Even family photographs don't interest them
Prices for antiques have dropped.
I suggest that you contact a reputable antique consignment shop in your area and see what they think that they can get you.
