What is the best way for me to search the internet for the maker of some antique lamps? I need to sell them?

and don’t want to get less than what they are worth. I don’t really have alot of money and that is why I am trying to sell them, so I would like to research first. I know they are worth alot of money, they belonged to my ex-mother-in-law when she was a child and her family was very rich.I also have some other items that i would like to find out the value of but don’t really have a clue how to look them up as they are unmarked. As I said I am in dire need of money to move as I am being evicted and need to get as much as I can for them. I am a big fan of antiques roadshow, cash in the attic, etc but I don’t have time to wait for all that. Please help me if you can. Thanks in advance

Im sorry to hear about your trouble. Since you are in need of money fast, you may not be in a position to get top dollar for these, however, look into Antique Auctions as a way to market your items set a base price and they can do well.
Take some good pictures of the items. Go to the library and check out Antique Books, there ar antique encyclopedias. Since you know who originally had them, you have the date they were made, which is a big help is establishing value. On the other hand-at a time like this it may be important to build on your innate stregnths, these gifts are valuable. Gifts from rich people will only be of small help to you at a time like this. Try to develop small goals that are related to solutions for your situation. Believe in yourself and take responsibility for your next step. Im praying for you because you asked for help.
