Also known as

Charles Antoine Malfroy

Charles Malfroy (1862–1939), born Charles Antoine Malfroy, was a French painter born in Lyon and later recorded as dying at Le Kremlin-Bicêtre. Authority records connect the name across Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and RKD. The present source pack does not securely place him within a named movement, so his page is best understood through documented medium and subject evidence. Public-domain works attributed to Malfroy include oils on canvas showing canals and waterfronts at Martigues in Provence, alongside an oil-on-card scene of the 1914 naval battle near the Falkland Islands. These examples make marine, coastal, harbor, and maritime-historical subjects prominent in the accessible record without establishing a complete catalogue of his output. The supplied auction index indicates that collectors encounter Malfroy through paintings and other catalogued lots. His full name, life dates, and authority identifiers are especially important for entity matching because image searches may also surface works credited to Henry Malfroy.

Common works and media

Documented public examples include oil-on-canvas views of canals, ports, and waterfronts at Martigues, as well as an oil-on-card naval-battle scene. Paintings—particularly marine, harbor, coastal, and maritime-historical subjects—are the clearest supported work type in this limited source pack. The available evidence does not establish a comprehensive catalogue of Malfroy's media or subjects.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's public index reports auction activity for Charles Malfroy, but its figures should be read as a record set rather than a price guarantee. A useful comparison starts with works matching medium and support, dimensions, date, subject, and attribution. For painted harbor or marine scenes, signature and inscriptions, surface condition, restoration, and provenance can materially affect how a lot compares with prior sales. Exhibition history and catalogue references may also strengthen identification, while incomplete feeds, private transactions, and later attribution changes can limit apparent coverage. Realized prices should therefore be compared by sale date and like-for-like object characteristics. Authentication and a current condition review remain separate from database-level market evidence.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Fine art and paintings
  • Works on paper and prints

Value drivers

  1. Medium, support, dimensions, date, and period within the artist's career
  2. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  3. Signature, inscriptions, edition information, and attribution confidence
  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Subject matter, rarity, current demand, and comparable public auction sales

Appraisal caveats

  • Public auction records are a starting point for appraisal rather than a final valuation.
  • Private transactions, incomplete sale feeds, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
  • Authentication findings and condition can materially alter how a work compares with recorded sales.
  • The supplied index describes its category concentration as broad or sparse, so generic category labels should not be treated as a definitive catalogue of Malfroy's output.
