Also known as
Charles-Marie-Félix Martin
Félix Martin was a French sculptor also identified by the fuller name Charles-Marie-Félix Martin. The collected sources place his birth on 2 June 1844 and associate him consistently with sculpture, although they conflict on whether his death occurred in 1916 or on 4 January 1917. No museum-grade source in the collected pack establishes a particular movement, school, preferred material, or recurring subject, so those details should not be inferred from the name alone. Collectors may encounter works catalogued under Félix Martin in auction records, but careful entity matching is important because the name can refer to other people. A useful identification should connect the object, signature or inscription, date, medium, and documented history to the nineteenth-century French sculptor. The available authority identifiers and documented likeness help distinguish this artist, while further institutional or catalogue research would be needed to establish a fuller account of his training, exhibitions, public commissions, and sculptural production.
Sculpture
Common works and media
The available sources support sculpture as the relevant work type. They do not establish specific materials, subjects, editions, casts, drawings, or other categories as common parts of Félix Martin's output, so individual auction objects should be described from their own cataloguing and physical evidence.
Market and appraisal context
Market assessment should begin by confirming that the object is associated with the French sculptor Félix Martin represented by the linked authority records. Appraisily has auction records catalogued under this artist name, but the collected source pack does not expose enough lot-level evidence to characterize preferred materials, subjects, editions, casting practices, condition effects, provenance patterns, or price ranges. Those details should therefore be verified from the individual object and its documentation. Once identity is established, dated and closely comparable public sales can provide context, with attention to whether each comparison represents the same medium and type of work. Records attached only by name should be treated cautiously until their attribution is independently consistent with the artist's biography.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Sculpture
Value drivers
- Confirmation that a work is correctly attributed to the French sculptor Félix Martin rather than another person with the same name
- Comparison with dated public auction records catalogued under the artist's name
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack does not provide lot-level evidence about materials, dimensions, condition, provenance, casting history, editions, subjects, or realized-price ranges.
- The artist's name is not distinctive, so auction-record matching should be checked against biographical and object-level evidence.
- The collected sources conflict on the death year: Wikidata summarizes 1916, while the French Wikipedia record gives 4 January 1917.
