Also known as
André Sornay
André Sornay (1902–2000) was a French furniture designer and decorator associated with Art Deco. Authority records from VIAF, Getty ULAN, Wikidata, and IdRef align the accented name with the same twentieth-century designer, while VIAF specifically identifies him as a French furniture designer. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Sornay through furniture, design, and decorative-arts channels rather than through a conventional painting or sculpture market. IdRef’s linked bibliography includes a dedicated 2010 publication describing him as an avant-garde creator, as well as multiple auction catalogues for twentieth-century decorative arts and design. This record supports his place in modern French design history, but the collected sources do not document individual models, materials, or production series in enough detail to summarize them confidently. Appraisal should begin by confirming an object’s authorship and design context against reliable catalogues and authority records.

Common works and media
Available authority evidence identifies Sornay principally with furniture design. In appraisal and auction settings, his name may therefore appear on furniture and objects catalogued within twentieth-century design or decorative arts. The collected sources do not provide enough item-level detail to name specific furniture forms, materials, finishes, models, editions, or recurring motifs without speculation. Object type, construction, markings, dimensions, date, and any catalogue linkage should be documented case by case.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisal of a work attributed to André Sornay should begin with identity and attribution, then compare the object within furniture, design, and twentieth-century decorative-arts categories. Public auction records can help establish relevant comparables by work type, sale date, and realized price, but the present source pack does not expose individual lot descriptions, conditions, dimensions, materials, provenance, or prices. Those details should therefore be verified from the object and underlying sale catalogues before drawing value conclusions. A dedicated Sornay publication and linked auction bibliographies in IdRef may help place a candidate work within the designer’s documented output. No price trend, rarity claim, or material-specific premium is asserted here.
