## About Frank Egginton

Frank Egginton (1908–1990), also catalogued as Francis John Egginton and Frank J. Egginton, was a British painter and landscapist. Getty ULAN also records English and Irish associations while treating British as its preferred designation, so those labels are best understood as overlapping authority-file descriptions. Egginton is chiefly encountered as a landscape artist, a characterization shared by Getty and public biographical records. Name matching matters for collectors because records may appear under Frank Egginton, Frank J. Egginton, Francis John Egginton, or the variant spelling Eggington. Appraisily's market index includes paintings and lots placed in broader paper, print, edition, mixed-media, sculpture, and decorative-art categories. Those broad classifications should not replace examination of the individual object's actual medium, support, subject, signature, date, and provenance. Stable identifiers from Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, and RKD help distinguish Egginton from similarly named artists and connect records that use different name forms.

## Common works and media

Egginton is most securely associated with landscape paintings. Auction records may also classify attributed works under works on paper and prints, while the collected market page lists still broader mixed-media, sculpture, decorative-art, and edition categories. Because those headings are broad and sparsely contextualized, they should not be treated as proof that every listed medium formed a regular part of his practice. For appraisal purposes, identify the object's actual materials, support, dimensions, landscape subject, signature or inscriptions, date, condition, and provenance before selecting comparable works.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's collected market snapshot reports 226 matched records, including 160 priced records, across auction dates from 1994 through 2026. It reports an observed price range of $80 to $9,941 and a median realized result around $650, although another section of the same page refers to 103 tracked lots. These figures are descriptive inputs, not predictions, and the record-count discrepancy should be reconciled. A useful appraisal comparison should match medium, dimensions, subject, date, condition, attribution confidence, provenance, and reporting basis as closely as possible. Restoration, signatures, inscriptions, edition information, exhibition history, catalogue references, and recent comparable sales may also affect how an individual work relates to the broader record.

## Appraisily data basis

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