Re: S. Bent Bros. Table and 4 Chairs
Samuel Bent formed the company in 1867 . The original furniture in the 1800's until the early 1900's was identified by "branding" burning a logo into the wood. When printing on paper became easier in the 1900's stickers were affixed to the furniture. The sticker's all had S.Bent & Bros. since 1867 Colonial chairs of quality. S. Bent went out of business because of a law suit that was filed on behalf of his workers for unfair labor practices. In terms of value, mid century sets like this often go at auction for under $400.00.
