Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

These were made by the Mastercraft Furniture Co. (Grand Rapids, Michigan), probably the most famous of all brands bearing the name; it is known for high-end, luxury furniture. The company operated mostly during the mid-20th century, especially 1950s–1980s, and their furniture is best known for brass, glass, exotic woods, and sometimes Asian or neoclassical influences; they also made a lot of very "glam" and opulent furniture that was part of the "Hollywood Regency" aesthetic: pieces such as these with thick brass frames for coffee tables, étagères, and cabinets.

Today their work is very collectible, especially brass and glass pieces; the table has a value of $2,000-3,000 while the set of six chairs is $1,000-2,000 - you're looking at a fair-market value of $5,000-5,000 for the group.
