Value of Vintage Dining Table and Chairs?

A wooden table.I have a Brandt Federal style mahogany drop-leaf dining table with 5 leaves, pads and 6 chairs. It extends to 10 feet and seats 14. It was my grandmother's and we had many family dinners at that table. She embroidered the chairs. The condition is definitely used. Can you please give a value? I am thinking of selling.

This looks like a really nice set although this type seat covers may not be to everyone's taste, the rest of the set is a stand-out.
Brandt is a good brand name and seems to have held its value where some other brands have gone down in value.

To be able to offer possible value, research would have to show what a set like this has sold for over the past few years, and without access to an official appraiser's work programs, the outcome of auctions is not usually available to the general public.

I might add, that suggestions most lay people like most ThriftyFun members can provide may not be a good idea for you to consider/follow.
Your set may be more valuable (or less) than what can be found so I would suggest that you try to get an official appraisal; either from someone in your area or you might try several of the free online appraisal sites first.
These are very good and even free they will offer good information as well as suggestions on where to best sell your set.
You may have to take the set to one of the auction sites to get the most money.

One reason; shipping can be very expensive and best arranged by a buyer on-site.
Otherwise, you may be looking for a buyer who lives within an approximate 50-100 miles radius of your location (local pick-up ads). This may narrow the field but can still be done.
You have good pictures but a most important picture you do not is the table from the end as we cannot see the leg style.
You should also provide the provenance information if available(year purchased?)

Other members may have good suggestions so be sure to check back often.

Brandt tables are worth several thousand dollars. Look on eBay until you find something similar to know what it sold for

Your table has a blue label of The Mahogany Association.

The Mahogany Association used two mahogany labels  to be placed upon mahogany furniture eligible to receive them - red and blue.

The Blue Label is for furniture, particularly case goods, in which mahogany lumber and mahogany plywood are used. www.furniturecityhistory.org/.../mahogany-association-labels
Your table was made from 1936 to 1949.
