start at $400.00 or more I would think. that is a lot of work!

I made one like that years ago and it is priceless because the detail and work. Maybe $500. People don't realize how hard you worked on it.

That is beautiful, my sister did beautiful crochet work like that so I know how long it takes. Can't even suggest a price, just know I could never afford to buy it.

Such a gorgeous piece! We have one similar that MIL made many decades ago.

You should see if there are any consignment shops or antique shops near you or even within driving distance. I tried unsuccessfully to sell on eBay and Etsy and then sold in no time at a consignment shop. The buyer can see the actual piece that way. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress. I think $400 at least is reasonable.

First of all...that is gorgeous!!! You put alot of time into that and not everyone can do it. Some people are willing to pay what it is worth, it might take some time for the right person to find it, but don't be afraid to ask what you think is a good price. :) It's beautiful!!!

I agree - don't be afraid to ask what you feel it is worth. it may take time to find someone who values the artistry - beautiful crochet like this is almost a lost art. It is absolutely wonderful, Fidgety.
