## About Louis Süe

Louis Süe (1875–1968) was a French architect, painter, decorator, and furniture designer associated with Art Deco. Born in Bordeaux and later active within French architecture and decorative arts, he worked across disciplines rather than confining his practice to a single medium. Süe and André Mare co-founded the Compagnie des arts français, an enterprise known for furniture and interior decoration. His broader design activity also encompassed buildings and major interiors, including work connected with passenger liners. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on paintings as well as furniture, decorative objects, interior schemes, and architectural or design material. This varied practice makes precise identification important: a work may relate to Süe as an individual designer, to his partnership with Mare, or to the Compagnie des arts français. Authority records maintained by Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and other national libraries provide stable identifiers for matching his identity across collections and catalogues.

## Common works and media

Auction and appraisal contexts may place Louis Süe under paintings, furniture, decorative arts, interior design, or architectural design. Furniture and interior-related material may also be catalogued through his association with André Mare and the Compagnie des arts français. Because these categories differ substantially in function and authorship, the object's materials, construction, markings, documentation, and catalogued attribution should be assessed before selecting comparable records.

## Market and appraisal context

Louis Süe's multidisciplinary career means that appraisal begins by identifying the type of work and the capacity in which his name is connected to it. A painting, furniture design, decorative object, or architectural document should not be treated as an interchangeable market category. Documented authorship and any relationship to André Mare or the Compagnie des arts français are especially relevant because collaborative production forms part of Süe's recorded career. Dating a work and establishing its connection to his Art Deco activity can further refine the appropriate comparison set. The collected sources do not provide detailed auction-house essays or object-level sale evidence, so market conclusions should be based on verified attribution and closely comparable public auction records rather than broad artist-level assumptions.

## 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. Source limitations are retained so that identity evidence and market observations are not presented as authentication or a price guarantee.
