What does this mean?

Good morning, Claudia,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This is a nice chest of drawers, though the damage to the surface of the top lessens the value a little bit.
Here are a few recent auction sales of similar Huntley chests of drawers, so you can see for yourself what the current auction market for them is, and what I have based my valuation on (it's useful also to look at the estimates they were offered at...)
