## About Pierre Guariche

Pierre Guariche (1926–1995) was a French designer, interior decorator, and architect whose name is closely associated with 1950s residential lighting and furniture design. Public identity sources also give his full name as Pierre Charles Guariche. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name on lighting and furniture rather than on autonomous fine-art objects. His lighting work for Pierre Disderot is the clearest documented production context in the available material, while his broader practice also included interiors and architecture. This combination matters for entity matching because records may describe him as a designer, decorator, interior designer, or architect. Appraisily therefore treats Guariche as a French design figure with several overlapping professional roles. The available evidence does not establish a specific artistic movement, named furniture series, material vocabulary, or complete manufacturer history, so those details should be verified from object-level documentation rather than assumed.

## Common works and media

Common auction-facing work types supported by this source pack are residential lighting and furniture. Guariche’s 1950s lighting designs for Pierre Disderot are the most specific documented group. The sources also describe a wider practice in interior decoration and architecture, but they do not identify auctionable drawings, editions, materials, model numbers, or named furniture lines. Object-level cataloguing should therefore retain the specific work type and any documented maker relationship.

## Market and appraisal context

Pierre Guariche market research should begin by identifying the object type and its documented design context. The available source pack specifically supports residential lighting designed for Pierre Disderot in the 1950s and also identifies Guariche as a furniture designer. An appraisal should therefore distinguish lighting from furniture, verify the claimed model and period, and examine any manufacturer attribution against object-level documentation. Appraisily’s public artist page is framed around auction prices, but the collected response did not expose individual lots, sale dates, estimates, or realized prices. Any conclusion should be tested against comparable public records for the same object type and design context rather than inferred from the designer’s name alone. This profile does not provide a price prediction.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For this profile, identity and design context are better supported than object-level market details.
