Also known as

Milo Ray Baughman, Jr.

Milo Baughman (1923–2003) was an American furniture designer associated with modern furniture design. Born in Goodland, Kansas, he is also described as an industrial designer, and The Museum of Modern Art maintains an artist record for him. Collectors most often encounter Baughman’s name through furniture offered on the secondary market, where careful identity matching matters because catalogues can differ in how they describe a designer, maker, model, or attribution. Appraisily’s current index contains more than one thousand matched records under his name, indicating a substantial body of public sale data; that volume should not be mistaken for automatic authentication. The collected authority sources establish his identity, lifespan, nationality, and professional field through Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and MoMA. The source pack is thinner on individual designs, manufacturers, materials, and career chronology, so object-level documentation remains important when researching or appraising a particular example.

Common works and media

The collected evidence identifies Baughman primarily as a furniture designer. A Wikimedia Commons record documents one pair of birdseye-maple drum tables described as his design and dated circa the 1970s, but that single example is not a catalogue of his production. This source pack does not provide enough institution-grade detail to make broader claims about recurring furniture forms, materials, manufacturers, model numbers, editions, or signature practices. Auction listings should therefore be classified from the individual object and its documentation rather than from the artist name alone.

Market and appraisal context

Baughman’s market should be assessed through closely matched furniture comparables rather than a single artist-wide median. Useful comparisons align the object type, dimensions, date, condition, restoration history, attribution wording, provenance, and available catalogue references. Appraisily’s public index reports a broad set of matched auction records, but its results may combine differently described objects and may not consistently treat buyer premiums or fees. Authentication cannot be inferred from a name match alone. An appraisal should therefore begin with the physical object and its documentation, then test those findings against recent, genuinely comparable public sales. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, changed attributions, and condition differences can all limit what the public record shows.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Furniture and design objects

Value drivers

  1. Object type, dimensions, date, and period of design
  2. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  3. Signatures, inscriptions, edition details, and attribution confidence
  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Recent comparable auction sales for closely similar works
  6. Rarity, subject or design type, and current market demand

Appraisal caveats

  • Public auction records are a starting point rather than a final appraisal; private sales and incomplete auction feeds may not be represented (https://appraisily.com/artist/milo-baughman/).
  • Reported results may differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees, so comparable sales should be normalized where possible (https://appraisily.com/artist/milo-baughman/).
  • A name match does not establish authorship or authenticity; condition and attribution can materially affect an appraisal conclusion (https://appraisily.com/artist/milo-baughman/).
