## About Julius  Schmidt-Felling

Julius Paul Schmidt-Felling (1835–1920) was a German sculptor active from the mid-to-late nineteenth century into the early twentieth century. Public biographical material associates him particularly with bronze sculpture and describes a varied range of subjects. These include heroic warriors, athletes, blacksmiths, farmers, and figures of children, with some compositions taking a whimsical approach. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on small-scale figurative bronzes and decorative sculpture rather than works belonging to one narrowly documented series. His long working period and varied subject matter make careful object-level identification important: a signature or attributed name should be considered alongside the material, casting details, dimensions, condition, and documented history. The available source pack does not establish a scholarly movement affiliation, exact birth and death dates, formal training, foundry relationships, or a catalogue raisonné, so those details should not be inferred without stronger documentation.

## Common works and media

Auction and appraisal contexts most plausibly feature figurative bronze sculptures. Documented subjects include warriors, athletes, blacksmiths, farmers, and children, ranging from heroic occupational figures to more playful compositions. Decorative sculpture and edition-related objects may also appear in market records. Medium, casting details, size, inscriptions, signature, condition, and attribution should be checked for each object rather than assumed from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal of a work attributed to Schmidt-Felling should begin with comparable public auction lots that match the object’s medium, dimensions, subject, date, and attribution level. Condition, restoration, surface quality, inscriptions, signature form, casting or edition information, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can all affect comparability. Appraisily’s public market page contains matched auction records, but its coverage may omit private transactions and incomplete feeds, and reported results may treat fees differently. Broad artist-level statistics should therefore be treated as orientation rather than a prediction for an individual sculpture. Authentication, a physical condition review, and comparison with closely related works remain important before reaching a valuation conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

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