I love these chairs, they are original and in mint condition. Would someone know a value of these?

Here is the closest design-similar I could find for you. tinyurl.com/
However, yours appear to be maple with some difference in details. (Armless Russel Wrights and/or Young American chairs seem to average around $300 apiece in excellent condition; see tinyurl.com/
These are expensive chairs and are worth at least $250 each.
Thanks for your help!! I hunted forever and couldnt find these.
Thanks so much for your help! Greatly appreciated!
I do not feel that you can judge the value of Conant Ball furniture by the sold price of another similar style because style in high quality furniture is probably one of the most important things in the value of the items.
I did notice that I'm seeing a much larger quantity of Conant Ball chairs listed for sale than I can remember seeing in past research.
Maybe if is a sign of the times but style is what people search for you need a very good description of your chairs and several very good (uncluttered) pictures of your chairs if you wish to ask for a high price. Condition is most important and needs to be accurate and, to be honest, I do not think you will find very many pieces that are in 'mint' condition. Mint is supposed to be in 'new' condition and most people are skeptical when they see 'mint' condition listed by a seller.
I believe if you want top dollar for your chairs you will need an official appraisal to prove there true value.
There are free appraisal sites online and some that charge $19-$35 but a free appraisal would be a good start. You can submit to several sites but you will need pictures of both chairs (or ask about just one). Here are some links to check out but you can also search for your own.

chairs were sold last week at auction, 750.00 for pair. Thanks for all the replies. except the one guy trying to use the site for profit by soliciting appraisals!
Sorry that you feel that way about free sites when someone has a valuable item.
Free is free and suggestions about price is what you were asking for.
Thanks for posting back the sold value! That is a nice tidy sum! Good to know that this style of chairs has held its value. Just for my notes, are you in the US? Was it an auction house auction? I don't see it on US or UK eBay.
I'm sorry but I don't see which comment you may be talking about. All the ladies that commented are our regular members who have been faithfully giving their advice for free for many years now.
I'm glad you were able to sell them for a decent amount of money and thanks so much for letting us know how much they went for. This will help other people trying to sell similar furniture in the future.
