WHAT DOES An antique furniture appraisal look like?

a very rare piece from qing dynasty estimated at 2.5 million

That would be a museum piece if that is what it is worth.
It looks like a piece of paper with the Name and Address very large of the appraisal company at the top, with the phone number, and the desription of the item, in very technical terns, very complete.
Every detail on the piece is mentioned.
The value is listed over to the right side of the description. There may be a seal at the bottom.
It must be an actual address and phone number of an actaul compnay, not a made up one. Otherwise you are in big trouble for fraud. And go to jail pronto.

It would not be in the hands of someone who does not know what an appraisal looks like.
