## About Auguste Mambour

Auguste Mambour (1896–1968) was a Belgian painter born in Liège, where he also died. Library authority records identify painting as his principal field and connect him with engraving, illustration, and lithography; a French-language biographical profile also describes him as a poster artist. These overlapping roles help explain why collectors may encounter his name on paintings as well as prints, illustrated material, and other works on paper. The supplied sources do not establish one specific artistic movement with enough authority to use it as a firm classification, so individual works should be considered through their medium, date, subject, and documented history. Mambour has an established public-auction footprint spanning several object categories. Accurate entity matching is especially important when comparing those records, since a signed painting, a lithograph, an illustration, and an attributed mixed-media object do not represent equivalent market material.

## Common works and media

Collectors may encounter paintings and works on paper attributed to Auguste Mambour, together with engravings, lithographs, illustrations, and poster-related material. Auction feeds also place some records in broader categories such as editions, mixed media, sculpture, or decorative art. Those broad labels should not substitute for examining the object's actual materials, technique, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, edition status, and attribution wording.

## Market and appraisal context

Mambour's public auction record includes paintings, works on paper, prints, editions, and some objects assigned to broader mixed-media or decorative-art categories. A useful appraisal comparison should match the work as closely as possible by medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, and attribution status. Signatures, inscriptions, edition information, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can further distinguish one object from another. Recent realized prices for genuinely comparable lots provide better context than an artist-wide median or the extremes of the recorded range. Public results remain incomplete: private transactions may be absent, reporting conventions can differ, and later authentication or attribution findings may change how an earlier sale should be interpreted.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
