## About Arthur Knighton-Hammond

Arthur Knighton-Hammond, whose full authority-record name is Arthur Henry Knighton-Hammond, was an English painter, draftsman, and etcher born in 1875 and deceased in 1970. He was born Arthur Henry Hammond in Arnold, Nottinghamshire. Public biographical material particularly associates him with watercolor, although his recorded practice also encompassed painting, drawing, and etching. His subjects included landscapes, society portraits, and industrial scenes, giving his work a range that extends from views of place to representations of people and working environments. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on objects that differ substantially in medium and subject. Authority records are especially useful for connecting works catalogued under the shortened Arthur Knighton-Hammond name with records using Arthur Henry Knighton-Hammond. The available source pack does not establish a specific movement, named series, or complete chronology, so those classifications should not be assigned without stronger documentation.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Knighton-Hammond may include watercolors and other paintings, drawings, and etchings. Recorded subject areas include landscapes, society portraits, and industrial scenes. Because these categories differ materially, a watercolor landscape, a portrait, and an etching should be classified and compared within their own work types and subjects.

## Market and appraisal context

Auction and appraisal comparisons for Knighton-Hammond should begin by separating watercolors and other paintings from drawings and etchings. Subject also provides a useful comparison boundary: landscapes, society portraits, and industrial scenes should not automatically be treated as equivalent market material. Identification requires attention to his recorded full name, shortened public name, and birth name. Appraisily’s artist page supplies an auction-record context, but the collected research pack does not provide enough lot-level evidence to support claims about price trends, edition structures, typical condition, or provenance patterns. A defensible appraisal should rely on closely comparable, sufficiently documented public sales rather than the artist name alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Source limitations are retained rather than replaced with unsupported conclusions.
