## About Maximilien Fiot

Maximilien Fiot, also identified in authority records as Maximilien Louis Fiot and Maximilien-Louis Fiot, was a French sculptor who lived from 1886 to 1953. Wikidata and VIAF agree on this basic identity, occupation, nationality, and life span, while Getty ULAN and RKD provide additional stable authority-profile links. These records help distinguish the artist across catalogues that may abbreviate, invert, or hyphenate his name. The collected evidence is much thinner on his education, artistic affiliations, working materials, recurring subjects, and individual works, so this profile does not assign him to a movement or describe undocumented specialties. Collectors may encounter his name in sculpture listings and auction records, but the name alone is not enough to establish the authorship, date, material, edition, or authenticity of a particular object. Those conclusions require evidence specific to the work under review.

## Common works and media

The collected authority evidence identifies Fiot as a sculptor, so sculpture is the only supported general work type for this profile. The source pack does not document specific materials, subjects, casting practices, editions, foundries, drawings, prints, paintings, ceramics, posters, or named series. Those details should be established from the object itself and from reliable work-specific documentation rather than inferred from the artist's name.

## Market and appraisal context

For appraisal purposes, begin by confirming that a sculpture is attributed to the documented French sculptor Maximilien Fiot rather than relying on a partial signature or seller description alone. Authority records recognize several forms of his name, including Maximilien Louis Fiot and Maximilien-Louis Fiot, which can help reconcile catalogue entries. The collected source pack does not establish particular materials, foundries, editions, subjects, or series, and it does not support a price forecast. A defensible valuation should therefore rely on the individual object's documented characteristics and relevant public auction records when those records are available, while keeping identity research separate from conclusions about authenticity or value.

## 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. Identity matches and market evidence should be reviewed together but remain distinct forms of evidence.
