Conant Ball pieces can be quite valuable. I have never seen one like yours which has me fascinated!!

Since this is a well sought after name (in most places in the US and some other countries) and an unusual piece, my best suggestion is not to try to sell it on your own, but have a professional dealer value and sell it for you.

If it is not of high value where you are, a good auction house could probably get it in the eyes of people who are seeking these pieces and you could maximize your profits.

My only caveat is yours does appear to have some condition issues and that will devalue it in most markets. How much is hard to say, because like I said, I have never seen one like it so I am not sure what comparable tables are selling for these days.

I did see a dining table that was similar and pristine it sold (NOT ASKING, but sold for almost $700 in either NYC or NJ). Table only, no chairs, which is pretty good.

Post back what you learn about this neat piece! I can't wait to hear more!! Thanks for sharing it!

This is an expensive piece. A simpler table is on eBay for $700. I would get a dealers opinion before selling it.

You have a highly collectible piece! It could be in the thousands in the right market or auction/online sales. Research your area also for collectors and interior designers!

Furniture buyers are very unpredictable and many times will pay more for a design than for a brand name.
Conant Ball seems to be a highly valued name in furniture but many pieces are still sitting on different sites with low asking prices but not being sold.

Shipping is very expensive so most small sellers will only list pieces as 'pick up only' which means the buyer would be someone in your area.
Checking Conant Ball on Craigslist shows an unusual number of listings nationwide and most of the prices seem to be higher than other sites. No way to tell what or even if, any are selling.

I have found several pieces like your coffee table but no current listings.
One sold for $95 in 2018.

Another listing did not sell - the asking price was $300 in 2017.
I am a member so I can see details of the sale.

I highly recommend seeking a free appraisal online as these appraisers provide a lot of information that is not available online.
They usually provide a production date, designer (was your table designed by Russell Wright?), type of wood, current value for insurance and also for resale.

They may be able to tell you what the numbers mean as no one seems to know very much about them.
It is some trouble to post to these sites but well worth it.
You will need several uncluttered pictures showing full top, sides/legs open and closed, markings. Overall measurements, history?, location.

Your table is very unusual and the brand name Conant Ball is in high demand and people are willing to pay a good price for this table. Before selling this because I do not see any like yours I would talk with a dealer who specializes in this type of furniture.

He will be the one to give you a better idea about how much it is worth.
