Have lots of stuff that I do not know how do deal with. Google is a jungle when trying to find a site for determining fair value. The photography items are the majority but antique furniture, electric, and oil lamps also-Who the heck knows?

This light is now a verdigris color (antique green). Its very pretty so I don’t want to replace. Need it to be black to match my other new black light fixtures! This light is the type that sits on top of a lamp post (360degrees)

What type of store sells cheap vintage/antique-looking home decorating stuff? Like Mirrors, Picture frames, furniture, end tables, lamps, etc.
either a real store or online, doesn’t matter.

I am dealing with my mother’s passive aggressiveness, which is very hard to put up. For example, one minute my mother will tell me that she will pay for something on (dinner at a restaurant) and then change her mind when the bill arrives making me feel bad for not having the money to help her pay for it then hold it over my head. She is constantly buying things for my family and herself that have no logic. Over the past 5 years, she has bought me antique oil lamps. What am I supposed to do with 5 oil lamps let alone 1? Recently, she went out and bought my son 18-24 month old clothing when my son is a 4T. When I pointed it out to her, she snapped back “I was only trying to help and YOU can take them back to the store if you don’t want them.” Then she goes on to make me feel like an ingrate for not accepting these “gifts.” Other times, she will completely ignore what you have to say and do what she wants anyway and later tells you that’s what YOU wanted. What can I do?!?
I should add that we all live together so she is not lonely. I firmly believe that by telling someone not to take the garbage out because they will do it and then later complain about how they always have to take the garbage out is classic passive-aggressive behavior. She’s been doing this for years, especially the shopping for nonsense items that nobody wants or needs.

Would you consider selling it if the price was right or keep it for sentimental reasons to pass on to family? My dad still has his mothers peddle sewing machine. He uses it as a table for an accent lamp. It is no longer operational.
