How much are these worth do you think?
Grandmother's Weiman's leather top desk, chair and lamp. Purchased in Pennsylvania we think, we don't know when. (Markings below.) There is some damage to the desk inlay but we have the pieces. Stitching on the leather chair is pulling apart but otherwise both pieces are in great condition for their age. Don't know anything about the chair other than it was purchased with the desk.

I would consult a local antique appraiser. Value changes due to trends and the condition of the piece.
Similar desk sold for $900 and one for $100. I would go more towards the high end, $800 - $1000. Any markings on the chair or lamp?!

Hello. A local appraiser might-be able to give you some insight.
It's hard to believe that beautiful desks such as the ones in the link in William's answer sold for those low prices. I am comparing with some of the cardboard-like junk that is sold in retail stores for prices not much less.
As Ann commented on, it is true that furniture trends come and go in and out of style.
I'd ask an antique expert!
Hi,
Advertise Art Deco Desk & Chair at higher price than what you would settle for and see what happens!
you would need to look on Ebay or go to an antique dealer we don't have any idea how to value antiques -
Check on EBay for similar. It will give you a general idea on what they are going for
Etsy has a lot of them. See if yours is there.
I would see if you can find a furniture appraiser that is local and see if you can send them photos to appraise the piece.
I would start with Etsy, eBay or 1stdibs if you want a general idea. If you're looking to sell it and are going to do so online, that would be sufficient. Although, if you don't want to deal with shipping it, then I would consult an expert locally or fine tune your search to local...since prices vary greatly across the country for items like that. Just keep in mind that appraiser will usually charge anywhere from $50 and up for their service.
I would look for an appraiser who does furniture or research online to see what others have them listed for
