About Jacob Petit

Nationality

Also known as

Jacob Mardochée, Jacob-Petit

Jacob Petit was the professional name associated with Jacob Mardochée, a French ceramicist and porcelain maker born in Paris in 1796. Wikidata and French Wikipedia place his death in Paris in 1868, although a VIAF-linked BnF heading gives 1848, making the later year the best-supported rather than an uncontested date. Authority records consistently connect Petit with French porcelain, while French and Russian biographical sources associate his name with production from a Paris workshop. Collectors therefore most often encounter Jacob Petit in the context of nineteenth-century decorative porcelain and ceramics, where the precise wording of an attribution matters. VIAF also records design and decoration prints under his name, including material concerned with interiors and furnishings. No specific artistic movement is assigned here because the collected institutional evidence does not establish one.

Common works and media

Porcelain and other ceramic objects are the principal works associated with Jacob Petit in the collected identity sources. Auction and appraisal records may apply his name to pieces connected with a Paris workshop or manufactory, so the original attribution wording should be retained. VIAF additionally lists decoration prints and a collection of designs involving interiors, furnishings, metalwork, joinery, and related decorative crafts. Those works on paper should be distinguished from ceramic objects when organizing or comparing auction records.

Market and appraisal context

The supplied Appraisily data report 303 associated auction records, but the collected source pack does not expose the individual descriptions, condition reports, provenance, estimates, or realized prices behind those results. No typical price range or market trend is therefore asserted. An appraisal should distinguish firm attributions from workshop or manufactory associations and compare like objects by medium, form, date, dimensions, decoration, and documented condition. Provenance, restoration, sale date, venue, and the wording used by the auction house should then be reviewed at lot level. Bibliographic design works should not be grouped automatically with porcelain objects merely because both appear under the same name.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • French porcelain and ceramic objects

Value drivers

  1. The precise attribution wording—Jacob Petit, his workshop, or his manufactory—should be established before selecting comparable lots.
  2. Comparable records should be separated by object type and medium so porcelain objects are not conflated with documented design prints.
  3. Sale date, realized price, and genuinely comparable public lots should be reviewed at the individual record level rather than inferred from the artist-level result count.

Appraisal caveats

  • The source pack reports 303 associated Appraisily records but does not expose item-level catalog descriptions, condition reports, provenance, estimates, or realized prices.
  • No price range, market trend, scarcity claim, or authentication conclusion can be supported from this source pack alone.
  • The authority data contain a death-year conflict that should be resolved before lifespan data are treated as definitive.
