What does this mean?

Hi Karen,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Regrettably, the market for 19th Century rocking chairs is quite soft, and has been that way for a while. This is an instance where it probably has more sentimental value than market value but I thought it best to be honest about what it's worth.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

An antique late Victorian or Renaissance Revival carved walnut platform rocking armchair
American, circa 1870-1880
The arched crest with incised decoration over a tall back flanked by low open arms, the trapezoidal seat with rounded front, all raised on a molded frame on platform rockers, on casters. Upholstered in a later pink patterned fabric.
38 1/2 inches tall, 19 1/2 inches wide, 27 inches deep
CONDITION: appears to be in good condition. Reupholstered
PROVENANCE: inherted
$75-125*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
