What does this mean?

Dear Juan,

A Chinese folding screen, not a big one from what I can see. Its made for decorative purposes and I believe its vintage, maybe 50 years old. Handpainted on a gilded wood underground. Indeed Guan yin is depicted here on lotus flower. Value is estimated on the decorative value and the work done on the piece. Good place to sell can be a local auction house with a prescription on Invaluable, Lottissimo or any other big auction-marketing platform.

Hello Simon,

Yes I can, I'll take the pictures but I need to get help from someone to take down the piece, it might take me a few days, would that be ok?

Thank you.
