What does this mean?

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

You have an Anglo-Indian carved and pierced teak and inlaid trifold table screen. Typically screens of this style can be seen as much larger, four-panel floor screens. This was likely produced in the late 19th century and as the label indicates, it was made in India. Recently at auction, a finer example, with more intricate carving, and with four-panels, realized $300USD. I believe your screen, factoring in that it is three-panels, has condition issues, and is lacking some intricate details such as a crest atop each panel, would fetch a bit less at a well advertised auction.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I'm happy to help.
