What does this mean?

This is an antique, early 19th century, early American Empire period, circa 1815, Boston-style gaming table with elaborate pedestal and 4-carved feet. The carved and fanciful detailed base dates this to the early 19th century. Later American Empire period styles changed the base form to a more linear, Baroque Revival form. Unfortunately, the market is slumped on antique gaming tables, and they sell for significantly less on today's market as compared to a few decades ago. The estimate is based on actual past recent recorded auction sales of comparables.
