About Ferdinand Pautrot

Born

1832

Died

1874

Nationality

French

Ferdinand Pautrot (1832–1874) was a French sculptor identified by Wikidata and represented by an RKD artist authority record. The German-language Wikipedia profile describes him more specifically as an animal sculptor. That specialization is the clearest artistic context supported by the collected sources; the source pack does not provide a museum biography, training history, catalogue raisonné, or documented movement association. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Pautrot's name attached to animal subjects in sculptural form. Appraisily's matched auction index indicates that works attributed to him have circulated repeatedly in public sales, although its category labels are broad and do not define his full production. Attribution should rest on object-specific evidence—including signature, material, construction, condition, provenance, and comparison with documented examples—rather than name matching alone. The available sources support his French identity, sculptural occupation, animal subject focus, and life years, but not a finer school or period classification.

SculptureAnimals

Common works and media

Animal sculpture is the most clearly supported work type in the collected identity sources. The market page also groups matched records under sculpture and mixed media and, more broadly, decorative art and editions. The source pack does not establish particular casting metals, foundries, edition sizes, or recurring animal species, so those details should be verified from the object, provenance, inscriptions, and documented comparables rather than assumed.

Market and appraisal context

The collected Appraisily market page reports 257 matched records, including 188 priced records, across auction dates from 1999 to 2026. Its model gives a median realized result around $550 and an observed range of $100 to $20,300, but these figures summarize heterogeneous lots and are not a valuation for an individual object. Appraisal should compare works with similar medium, size, date, subject, condition, restoration history, provenance, signature or inscriptions, edition details, and attribution confidence. Recent public sales matter most when the objects and reporting basis are genuinely comparable. Auction totals may use different fee treatments, while private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent. Object-specific examination and research remain necessary before reaching a value conclusion.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Sculpture and mixed media
  • Decorative art and editions

Value drivers

  1. Medium, size, date, condition, restoration history, provenance, and attribution confidence
  2. Signature, inscriptions, edition details, and catalogue references
  3. Subject matter, rarity, current demand, and comparable public auction sales

Appraisal caveats

  • Public auction records are a starting point rather than a final appraisal.
  • Reported auction totals may not be directly comparable when fee treatment differs.
  • Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent from the available record.
  • The collected auction-category labels are broad and should not be treated as a definitive catalogue of the artist's work.
