100+ year old bedroom set inherited from Grandmother

Thirty years ago, I inherited a beautiful 140+ year old bedroom set from Grandmother. However, it has not been the easiest set of furniture to own. At this point, the armoir has fallen apart and is in the garage, the dresser mirror is somewhat attached and somewhat precariously balanced on the dresser and the bed feels unsafe to sleep in. Basically, there are structural issues all around because of the age of the set and all the different times it has been moved across the country. Also, I have NOT YET been able to place the top piece on the armoir because ceilings are not that high anymore.

To fix it would cost a lot of money and I would like to let go of it but can't seem to do that. It's very very heavy and has become more of a burden than a delight. Can anyone give me some insight on how they were able to let go, or sell, or give away, or donate? I'm pretty sure people aren't interested in sets like this anymore. Thank you so much!
