About Arthur Royce Bradbury

Born

1892

Died

1977

Nationality

British

Also known as

Bradbury, Arthur Royce

Arthur Royce Bradbury (1892–1977) was a British painter, draftsman, and etcher. Public authority records consistently identify him and his lifespan, while VIAF links his identity to the Getty Union List of Artist Names and records works depicting named sailing vessels and Poole Quay. Those titles indicate a documented interest in maritime subjects, including ships and harbor settings. Collectors may therefore encounter Bradbury through paintings, drawings, or etchings associated with British marine imagery. The available source pack does not establish a particular movement, school, training history, or formal series, so those classifications should not be assumed from the artist's dates or subject matter alone. His presence in Art UK, Getty, VIAF, RKD, and Wikidata provides useful authority control for distinguishing his work and name from similarly named artists. Auction identification should still consider the medium, signature, inscriptions, subject, and supporting provenance of the individual object.

PaintingDrawingEtchingMaritime vessels and harbor subjects

Common works and media

Authority records identify Bradbury as a painter, draftsman, and etcher. Documented titles include a barquentine and a brigantine at Poole Quay, supporting maritime vessels and harbor views as known subjects. Auction and appraisal searches should distinguish paintings from drawings, works on paper, and etchings rather than treating all results as interchangeable.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's matched market dataset reports 165 auction records for Arthur Royce Bradbury, including 96 priced records, across sales dated from 1995 through 2025. These records provide a comparison pool rather than a prediction for any individual work. A useful appraisal should compare objects of similar medium, dimensions, date, subject, and condition, while also examining signatures, inscriptions, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, and confidence in the attribution. Paintings should not automatically be compared with drawings or etchings, and maritime scenes may require more specific subject-based comparisons. Reported results can differ in their treatment of buyer's premiums and fees. Private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may also fall outside the available public-auction data.
