## About Grant Featherston

Grant Stanley Featherston (1922–1995) was an Australian furniture designer best known in the available sources for his chair designs of the 1950s. Those designs have been described as icons of the Atomic Age, placing his work within the visual culture of postwar furniture and industrial design. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Featherston's name in connection with chairs, seating, and other furniture rather than traditional fine-art media. The collected authority data establishes his core identity, nationality, occupation, and life years, while the biographical source supplies his fuller name and broad design context. The present source pack does not provide a reliable catalogue of models, manufacturers, materials, or production histories. For that reason, resemblance to a known chair form should not by itself be treated as proof of authorship. Individual objects require documentary identification and comparison with properly described examples.

## Common works and media

The collected sources most clearly associate Grant Featherston with furniture design, particularly chairs and other seating from the 1950s. They do not establish a complete list of models, manufacturers, materials, editions, or additional work types, so those details should be verified from object-specific documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraising furniture attributed to Grant Featherston begins with confirming the designer identification and establishing the type and date of the object. Chairs associated with his noted 1950s period should be compared with records for genuinely similar seating rather than with unrelated furniture. Public auction records can provide useful sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when detailed entries are available. This source pack, however, does not expose individual model names, manufacturers, materials, production variants, condition reports, provenance, or realized prices. It therefore supports category-level research but not a price forecast. Those object-specific facts should be verified before comparable sales are selected or any valuation conclusion is drawn.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity data with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available and sufficiently documented.
