Hi Erica,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
If you'd like for your appraisal to include dimensions, which is customary, please forward in the comments section - at your convenience - the height, width and depth and I'll update this ASAP.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A set of six American turned wood side chairs
made by S. Bent & Brothers, Gardner, Mass, mid/late 19th Century
Each with bentwood back enclosing five turned spindles, over a shaped molded seat, raised on straight turned legs joined by a double box stretcher and reinforced by a metal X-stretcher.
(DIMENSIONS)
CONDITION: Not examined in person but appears to be in good condition; value assumes condition of all chairs are similar to one shown in the photographs.
$500-700 for the set*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.

I found a similar chair and they were asking over $900 for one. I found a set of two that didn’t exactly match and they were asking for over $1800

I suspect those are retail prices (Mearto's values are fair market, for auction) but I'm happy to reconsider my valuation - please send me the links where you saw those prices and I'll take a look.

I will send you the dimensions and links when I get out of work.

Thank you.
