What does this mean?

Your matching pair of antique rocking chairs date to just about 1880 - 1890. They were hand crafted and flourished with hand turned legs, stiles and stretcher rail with original woven rush seat. These are from the 19th century Victorian era, though the design is based on Jacobean Revival from earlier centuries. These are 'vernacular' meaning hand constructed in the countryside by a furniture builder and not produced through an urban center atelier or guild. These are well-crafted and 'bombastic' meaning the elements are thick and heavy. The estimate is based on actual past auction sales of comparables and is for each individually.
