What does this mean?

Hi Julia,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I am assuming that this does not have any labels or is otherwise marked by the maker? If you find a label, mark, signature, brand, etc, please let me know so I can amend this appraisal if necessary.
I also can't tell if the feet are attached or if it lifts off of a base; that may make a difference in terms of value.

Thanks to confirm on the above, at your convenience,
Delia

Hi Delia
The sideboard is made by Jentique. The furniture is one piece ie it doesn't lift off a base; I have attached a few photos of the underside but they didn't come out as well as I'd hoped so let me know if you need more. I also attached a photo of the feet; all four are intact. I haven't polished the piece yet (which I will do before sale, of course)... it really is in immaculate condition with no scratches other than ones shown in the photograph.
I look forward to hearing your feedback,
Julia

Thanks, Julia,
Rather than polish this, simply wipe it free of any dust with a dry (or only slightly damp) cloth; some buyers appreciate the unpolished look.
Based on the photographs and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

Hi Delia
Thank you for your valuation and your advice on polishing. Do you have any suggestions as to what channel(s) I should use to market / sell it to maximise its value? i.e. the best auction houses or websites to use. And any suggestions as to the reserve price / strategy?
Regards
Julia
