What does this mean?

Thank you for submitting your items for appraisal. These armchairs were vaguely inspired by french furniture, but proportions, carving and gold color paint is clearly modern. Typically such furniture is made in Egypt today, but Mexico has a similar industry running as well. The hidden value would be knowing who the previous owner is and how high - at the moment - his or hers celebrity status is.
The estimate for this pair of armchairs is based on similar chairs offered or sold at auction recently
