Also known as
Hippolyte Joseph Marie Chambost
Pol Chambost (1906–1983), whose fuller name is recorded as Hippolyte Joseph Marie Chambost, was a French sculptor and ceramist. Library authority records consistently associate him with France and describe his practice through sculpture and ceramics. Bibliographic records linked by IdRef also document publications and exhibitions that frame him as a ceramist-designer, including a fifty-year survey spanning small-series production and unique pieces. These records place Chambost within twentieth-century French ceramic and decorative-art practice, although the available sources do not establish a specific movement or school. Collectors may encounter his name on ceramic and sculptural objects, as well as lots classified more broadly by auction databases under decorative art, sculpture, editions, paintings, or works on paper. Because those market categories are broad, identification should begin with the object itself: its medium, construction, marks or inscriptions, dimensions, date, condition, and provenance. Chambost's established authority identifiers can also help separate his records from incomplete or similarly named catalogue entries.

Common works and media
Authority records most securely connect Pol Chambost with ceramics and sculpture. An exhibition record also characterizes his output as extending from small-series production to unique pieces, providing useful context for distinguishing repeated designs from individual works. Appraisily's auction index groups matched lots under decorative art and editions, sculpture and mixed media, fine art and paintings, and works on paper and prints. Those labels are database classifications rather than a definitive inventory of Chambost's work, so ceramics and sculptural objects carry the strongest support in the available identity sources. For appraisal purposes, document materials, glaze and surface, construction, dimensions, marks, inscriptions, edition information, and any evidence of restoration.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's public index reports a substantial body of matched Pol Chambost auction records, but the database categories remain broad and not every record includes a realized price. A useful appraisal comparison should therefore match the object as closely as possible by medium, dimensions, date, production type, condition, and attribution. Marks, signatures, inscriptions, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can further affect how confidently a lot is identified and compared. Public realized prices provide market evidence rather than a guaranteed value: reporting conventions may differ, private transactions may be unavailable, and later attribution or condition findings can change the relevance of an earlier result. Comparable lots should be reviewed individually instead of relying only on an overall median or observed price range.
