Anybody knows the word/s for the following concept - in any language.
Concept:
When the perceived value of something is affected, either positively or negatively, by its context and/or how it is stored. Specifically, it's place of rest or storage.
For example, an ancient, rare book stored in two different environments. One version is on an Ikea shelf on the corner of a dingy, smelly room, closed, on its side and dusty. The second version, that same book is on a glass casing, open for display, on a thick wooden polished table as the center piece of the room. The item in question is the same but how it is stored and the environment it finds itself in modify the perceived value of that object.
Any ideas?

I think this is about either presentation or condition?
If it's knowing how it was stored that impacts the perceived value, that's presentation (you want it presented with evidence of good storage)
Otherwise it's the impact of the storage on its condition that matters
If it's sorta both, there might not be a specific word for that
Its not so much about for buying or transactional functions but rather perception and individual valuation. It's the same object but its value is perceived differently based on how it's treated. It can also be observed in relationships for example. Depending on how a husband treats the wife, the wife herself feels more valuable and others see her as having more value based on how she is being taken care of.
I don't know if this helps to explain myself better?
I'd go with presentation, or prestige, depending on the context.
Not sure about a word for that. I bet there is one but can't think of it
Maybe prestige as silner said
Maybe esteem. This is quite a puzzle 🤔
