What does this mean?

This is an antique 19th century, Victorian era, about 1880s Baroque Revival form molded porcelain cased body mantel clock with Swiss movement clock. It is marked Paris on the porcelain body and it is made in the manner or a style emulating Jacob Petit. The body is done in an ombre airbrushed glaze with printed roses that have been hand embellished with paint strokes. The antique clock market is currently slumped and they do not sell for what they used to sell for a few decades ago. The market was further impacted by the Recession. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.

Please also add an image of the backside of the clock and check for any marks on the casing and any marks on the works if there is an opening on the backside to the clockworks.
