What does this mean?

This is an antique, American 19th century, Victorian era, about 1870's, dresser, or chest of drawers with ebonized hanging drawer pulls. It has been decoupaged with Italian Florentine marbled paper and also hand painted.
The Victorian furniture market is currently slumped. Pieces, even the original period pieces, do not sell for what they used to sell for a few decades ago. The market was further impacted by the Recession.
The estimate is for catalogue auction sale and is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary. Insurance and estate tax purpose appraisals will also vary and are not provided here.
