Trying to find value of vintage swarovski crystal chandelier?

A good friend gave me an eight light vintage swarovski crystal chandelier. I don't know how to find out the value of it. The Internet searches seem to be no help. Anyone have knowledge in this area?

Please take it to a legitimate antique store and ask for a valuation. Also, call the local art museum in your community and ask for the name of someone to value your antique. They are very knowledgeable.

It is valuable if it is genuine. Do not sell it to the first person who values it for you. Tell them it is for insurance purposes.

Or, ask your insurance company who they would refer you to in order to have it valued.
