## About Claire Jeanne Robertine Colinet

Claire Jeanne Robertine Colinet is represented in authority records as Claire Jeanne Roberte Colinet, a French sculptor active from 1913 to 1939. Wikidata and Wikipedia give her life years as 1885–1972, although VIAF displays conflicting date variants that call for caution. Born in Belgium and later associated with France, she worked during the early twentieth century and is chiefly linked with Art Deco sculpture. Public biographical sources particularly associate her with representations of Arab female dancers, placing movement and theatrical gesture at the center of her best-known subject matter. Collectors may encounter her under the shorter name Claire Colinet or under hyphenated authority-name variants. A Dutch-language biography also records the signatures C.J.R. Colinet and Cl.J.R. Colinet. These variants make entity matching especially important: an appraisal should distinguish the artist from similarly named makers and test any object-level attribution against the work itself, its date, and its documented history.

## Common works and media

The source pack supports Colinet primarily as a sculptor, especially in an Art Deco figural context. Female dancer subjects—described in the available biography as Arab dancers—are the clearest recurring theme. The supplied evidence does not support firm claims about particular casting materials, foundries, edition sizes, named models, or works on paper, so those details should be verified for each object rather than generalized across her output.

## Market and appraisal context

Colinet’s market context should be approached through object-level evidence rather than broad price assumptions. The collected sources support sculpture, an Art Deco context, an active period of 1913–1939, dancer subjects, and several name and signature variants; these facts can help organize attribution research and comparable-lot selection. They do not establish a material-by-material market hierarchy, edition sizes, foundry histories, condition adjustments, provenance premiums, or current price trends. Appraisily should compare a submitted work with publicly documented lots that closely match its object type, subject, date, material, dimensions, signature, and attribution language, while distinguishing asking prices from realized auction results. No usable major-auction-house record was captured in this source pack, so any valuation conclusion requires additional lot-specific auction evidence.

## 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. Identity and market conclusions remain evidence-dependent, and object-level appraisal requires verification of attribution and the submitted work’s characteristics.
