## About Georges van de Voorde

Georges van de Voorde, also recorded as Georges Vandevoorde and George Abel (Georges) Vandevoorde, was a Belgian sculptor and medallist born in 1878 and deceased in 1964. Public reference records connect his work with the sculpture event in the art competition associated with the 1936 Summer Olympics. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in relation to sculpture, medallic art, Belgian art, and objects catalogued under variant spellings of his surname. The available public evidence is concise: Wikidata supplies the core identity and life years, the Dutch-language reference adds his fuller name and work as a medallist, and the English-language reference records the Olympic connection. An RKD artist record has also been identified, although its contents could not be inspected during collection. Because the source pack does not document his training, exhibitions, stylistic development, or named works, this profile does not assign him to a particular movement or school.

## Common works and media

The collected references identify sculpture and medallic art as the principal work types associated with Georges van de Voorde. They do not establish particular materials, subjects, editions, named sculptures, or recurring series, so objects attributed to him should be described from direct examination and supporting documentation rather than from assumed stylistic traits.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by resolving the artist's identity across the documented name variants and determining whether the object is a sculpture or medallic work. The collected evidence establishes those areas of activity but does not document preferred materials, casting dates, foundries, edition sizes, signature practices, condition standards, or an artist-specific auction-price history. Those details should be established from the object and reliable documentation, then evaluated against genuinely comparable public sales. The available biography alone does not support a price trend, scarcity claim, or forecast. Attribution should also be handled cautiously because the sources use different forms of the artist's name and the pack provides no catalogue raisonné or estate reference.

## 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. For this artist, the collected identity evidence is stronger than the available market documentation.
