Leslie Diamond for Conant Ball Dining Room set. Purchased from private estate sale; would like to sell but not sure what they are worth in current condition, in my location (Washington State), or where to begin gaining additional knowledge about these pieces. Have done some research looking at pieces on 1stdibs but with the little knowledge I have, isn't necessarily helpful.
The table needs to be restored, chairs no longer have original or all cushions; we do have the table top protection covers, not sure if they came with table or if original owner purchased/had them made. Absolute beautiful table and chairs but unfortunately the table is no longer used and should be somewhere to be admired and used.
Any information/history would be appreciated. Thank you

Founded in the late 1800s, in Gardner, Massachusetts, the Conant Ball Furniture Company was well known for crafting Colonial reproductions and cane seat chairs. They eventually branched out into bedroom & dining chairs. The Conant Ball Furniture Company closed in 1980 but their products remain popular today.
So, you have a Mid Century drop dead dining set designed by Leslie Diamond for Conant Ball's Modernmates line.
The set made entirely of wood - no particle board, veneer or laminate. It included six chairs, table, two leaves, and 9-drawer credenza. Your photos only have a table and chairs. Apparently you don't have a 9-drawer credenza. You can see the Conant Ball Dining Set with Table, 6 Chairs & Credenza here: sweetmodern.com/
You have added a photo with a manufacturer stamp and model number 7410.

Have you sold your set yet? There is a table (only) that looks like yours on offer up for $1,675 in Seattle. It's been active for several months so unless it sold elsewhere and they didn't close the offer that is probably too high an ask in that area. If that sells at that price, then that will be the current value in Seattle.
Values are regional so if you are in a smaller town it may be significantly less.
As a full set, you may be able to add $25-60 a chair to the asking price. Was not able to find any sold or active offering in Washington state for chairs to see what the asking spans are there.
Have you been able to verify they are a true Leslie Diamond design? To so that you would need to find the original advertisment or catalog match to confirm the designer. Many unscrupulous sellers spam word Conant items either with Diamond's name or Russell Wright to give the allusion of value. But you really need proof to call it that way if the don't contain a signature marking, which not all did, unfortunately.
I am still trying that avenue for you and if I find a match I will share it. That may add a few dollars to the selling price.
Just curious...How long ago did you purchase it? If it was recent the value may not have changed meaning no appreciation. Furniture resell values tanked at the beginning of Covid and are just now recovering as people are wanting their home to be more to their liking since they are home more. Post back how your sale went/goes!
