What does this mean?

This is a 19th century, Victorian era, about 1865 - 1870, marble top breakfront or sideboard server that would be used in a dining area of a home. It appears, from the images, to be well-constructed and a center door panel is done with a parquetry, or inlaid wood decoration. There are obscured pencil written words that appear to be 'parlor' and possibly 'Ziegler'. The furniture craftsman and interior decorator, Jacob Ziegler, of NYC was active in this era, however the vast majority of his known furniture had an affixed paper label with his Bleeker St address on it. Without a paper label and only an obscured pencil written name that possibly reads Ziegler, this could be possibly 'attributed' or 'in the manner of' Ziegler, however it cannot be definitively stated to be by Ziegler. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.

We saw the signature, did a little research and thought it might just be a Jacob Ziegler piece - given the style, craftsmanship, and period.
