Born

Died

Nationality

Scottish

Thomas Faed (1826–1900) was a Scottish painter best known in the available reference material as a painter of genre subjects. Tate, Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN provide stable records that help distinguish him from similarly named artists and other members of the Faed family. The collected authorities agree on his death year but preserve a birth-year discrepancy: Tate and Wikidata use 1826, while some contributed authority forms and the English Wikipedia excerpt use 1825. This page therefore uses 1826 with a research caveat. Collectors are most likely to encounter Faed through paintings associated with nineteenth-century Scottish genre art. Appraisily links his identity record to a substantial auction-directory dataset that may provide comparison material. Individual objects still require work-level review because an artist-level match alone cannot establish attribution, medium, subject, date, condition, or relevance as a comparable sale.

PaintingGenre scenes

Common works and media

The source pack consistently identifies Thomas Faed as a painter, while a discovery-level reference describes him more specifically as a genre painter. Paintings of genre scenes are therefore the best-supported common-work type. The collected evidence does not establish prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, posters, editions, or particular recurring subjects as common categories, so those descriptions should be applied only when an individual work or auction record documents them.

Market and appraisal context

A market assessment should begin with the individual object rather than the size of the artist-level auction dataset. The collected sources support paintings, particularly genre paintings, as the most defensible comparison categories. Relevant appraisal work should establish the attribution, medium, dimensions, subject, date, condition, and provenance where documentation is available, then select genuinely comparable public sales. This source pack does not include a usable major-auction-house essay, lot description, condition report, or realized-price series, so it cannot support a specific price prediction or market-trend claim. Auction records should be evaluated lot by lot for similarity and reliability.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Genre paintings

Value drivers

  1. Strength and specificity of the attribution to Thomas Faed
  2. Similarity of the work's medium and subject to relevant public auction records

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack contains no usable major-auction-house biography, lot description, condition report, or realized-price series.
  • An artist-level auction record count does not establish authenticity, typical value, or a market trend.
  • The available evidence does not support a formal movement classification with high confidence.
