Also known as
Poul Kjærholm, Kjærholm, Poul
Poul Kjaerholm (1929–1980), more commonly catalogued with the Danish spelling Poul Kjærholm, was a Danish designer whose authority records identify him specifically with furniture design. His identity is independently represented by Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, IdRef, and the Museum of Modern Art, making the accented and unaccented name forms useful for entity matching. IdRef also links him to a published catalogue raisonné of his furniture. Collectors therefore encounter Kjærholm primarily through furniture and decorative-design objects offered under a designer name, sometimes alongside model or edition information. For research, the designer attribution should be separated from the particulars of the physical object: its date, materials, dimensions, condition, provenance, and catalogue documentation. This distinction matters because auction records can describe related designs or differently documented examples that are not directly comparable. Appraisily connects the established artist-designer identity with matched public sale records while preserving those object-level differences.
Furniture design
Common works and media
Common appraisal candidates are furniture and decorative-design objects associated with Kjærholm. Listings may differentiate objects through model descriptions, dates, materials, dimensions, inscriptions, edition information, and supporting documentation. The collected sources establish furniture design as his core field but do not provide a model-by-model institutional inventory. Individual objects should therefore be checked against authoritative catalogues and lot documentation rather than classified from the designer's name alone.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's current public index reports 926 matched records, including 585 priced records, across sales dated 2002–2026. Those records should be used as a comparable-sales pool, not as a price forecast. Useful comparisons align object type, medium or materials, size, date or career period, condition and restoration history, attribution confidence, inscriptions or edition details, provenance, exhibition and catalogue references, and recent sale context. Reported auction totals may not treat buyer's premiums and fees consistently, so like-for-like comparison is essential. Private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent. Any proposed Kjærholm attribution should be assessed together with the physical object and its documentation before a valuation conclusion is drawn.
