Artist context
About Peter Thursby
Born
1930
Died
2011
Nationality
English
Peter Thursby (1930–2011) was an English sculptor. Wikidata identifies him by nationality, occupation, and life years, while Art UK and several international authority records provide matching identity references. These records give collectors a useful foundation for distinguishing the artist from unrelated people, places, and objects associated with the Thursby name. The collected material does not establish a particular movement, school, teaching history, exhibition chronology, preferred material, or recurring subject, so those details should not be inferred without stronger documentary evidence. In auction and appraisal contexts, works bearing his name should therefore be researched first as sculpture and then evaluated through object-specific cataloguing, signatures or inscriptions, provenance, and comparable records when those materials are available.
sculpture
Common works and media
The available institutional and authority evidence identifies Peter Thursby as a sculptor. It does not reliably establish particular sculptural materials, formats, subjects, editions, series, or periods. Objects attributed to him should therefore be described from direct examination and supporting documentation rather than assigned to an unsupported body of work.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily associates Peter Thursby with a substantial set of auction-directory records, but the collected public excerpts do not expose individual lot descriptions or results. The present evidence supports placing his work in the sculpture category, not making claims about favored materials, subjects, editions, market direction, or price level. An appraisal should identify the particular object and then examine its documented authorship, date, construction, dimensions, condition, provenance, and relevant public comparable sales. Those factors must be verified from the work and its records rather than assumed from the artist name alone.

Appraisal caveats
- The collected sources establish only a basic identity and sculpture classification; they do not provide accessible work-level evidence about materials, dimensions, dates, editions, condition, provenance, subjects, or realized prices.
- No price trend or value prediction can be supported from this source pack. Individual works require object-specific research and comparable-sale analysis.
