Hi Cliff,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The B. & S. Table Company of Boston is a somewhat obscure American furniture manufacturer, but surviving examples indicate it specialized in high-quality dining tables during the late Victorian and early twentieth century, roughly 1890–1915. Unlike major firms such as Berkey & Gay or R.J. Horner, relatively little company documentation survives, making its furniture more dependent on physical evidence than published histories.

The company appears to have focused on extension dining tables rather than producing complete dining room suites, meaning it's unlikely that they made the chairs.

Similar B&S extending dining tables that have sold at auction have brought prices ranging from $150 to $250, the side chairs are worth $20-$30 and the armchair is worth $25-$50.

It's important to note that these are fair-market values, which is considered secondary to retail or primary market so if you're looking to sell these, I would price them higher, not only to avoid risk of underselling them but also to be competitive in your pricing.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
