Value of dining room suite by Marietta Chair Co/circa 1930?

My elderly parents (ages 86 and 90 years) are downsizing and moving. They have a lovely mahogany dining room suite (china cabinet, sideboard, table with leaves and 8 chairs) marked Marietta Chair Company. It is in pristine condition and I would like to get the maximum $ for it for them as they are on a very fixed income.

The best idea would be to contact a local auction house in your area and ask them what previous mahogany dining sets have sold for in your area. If they are cooperative, email them a picture and ask for their opinion. In my experience and prior observation, I would estimate 800-1200 dollars at a professional, upscale auction. You might get more than 1200 if you were to sell at a consignment/antique shop but keep in mind, they also ask for a part of the profits that is generally greater than at auction. Large sets of furniture generally do not command high prices at auction because people need the suitable space as well as to arrange transportation. The maker you listed also appears to be a regional furniture maker, so you would be best selling it locally (not on eBay) in case someone is interested in having regional pieces in their home. Unfortunately regional furniture makers do not command prices above standard for their pieces, it is only when you get to truly famous makers/designers that there is a premium paid for the manufacturer’s lmark. I hope this helps, but definitely contact a local, reputable auction house first because they can tell you how furniture suites are selling in your area. And respect what the appraiser has to say. If they appraise the pieces at one price, do not expect them to sell for 10x that. People sometimes figure sentimental value into the value of their possessions.
