## About Charles Hannaford

Charles Hannaford is identified in the available authority data as Charles E. Hannaford, an English painter who lived from 1863 to 1955. The collected source pack links this identity to Getty ULAN, VIAF, and RKD authority records, although only the Wikidata entry returned a concise biographical statement during collection. No museum biography, catalogue raisonné, exhibition history, named works, or documented movement was available in the pack. Appraisily’s directory input associates 194 auction records with the public name Charles Hannaford, which helps explain why collectors may encounter the name in sale archives. That count is a discovery signal, not proof that every record concerns the same artist. Until individual records are reconciled with the authority identity, the safest page-level description is that Hannaford was an English painter whose lifetime extended from the late nineteenth century into the mid-twentieth century.

## Common works and media

The source pack identifies Hannaford as a painter but does not document specific materials, subjects, named works, series, or editioned output. Paintings are therefore the only broadly supported work type for this page. More specific descriptions, including oil paintings, watercolors, landscapes, portraits, drawings, or prints, should not be assigned without supporting cataloguing from an individual work or a stronger institutional source.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected evidence does not support price forecasts, market-trend claims, or conclusions about which kinds of Hannaford works perform best. It contains an Appraisily auction-directory count but no readable lot descriptions, realized prices, or major-auction-house cataloguing. The principal supported appraisal issue is therefore identity matching: records using the shortened name Charles Hannaford should be reconciled with the authority identity Charles E. Hannaford, 1863–1955. Comparable sales can become useful only after that reconciliation and after the underlying lot records have been reviewed. Until then, the directory count should be treated as an indication that auction records may exist, not as evidence of value, authenticity, or market direction.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Charles Hannaford, the present identity evidence is limited, and lot-level market evidence still requires review.
