## About Silas Seandel

Silas Seandel is an American artist, furniture maker, and sculptor born in 1937. Library authority data connects those roles to the same person, while the collected biographical source describes him more specifically as a furniture sculptor based in New York City. The available evidence therefore places his public identity at the intersection of functional design and sculpture rather than documenting his association with a named artistic movement. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name attached to furniture or sculptural objects, but this source pack does not establish particular materials, recurring subjects, named series, or edition practices. That distinction matters for entity matching: an object should be connected to Seandel only when its maker or artist attribution is explicit. Wikidata and VIAF provide the strongest identity foundation, while Appraisily's collected input reports 368 auction records associated with the public artist page for separate object-level research.

## Common works and media

Furniture and sculptural objects are the common defensible work types in the collected sources. The source pack does not identify specific materials, recurring subjects, named series, editions, prints, paintings, ceramics, drawings, or posters. Objects listed outside the supported furniture and sculpture categories require separate evidence before they are matched to Silas Seandel.

## Market and appraisal context

The present source pack supports two broad auction categories—furniture and sculpture—and indicates that Appraisily has auction records associated with this artist page. It does not document particular materials, model names, production dates, edition sizes, provenance patterns, condition issues, subjects, scarcity, or price trends. Comparable analysis should therefore be limited to records whose attribution to Silas Seandel and broad work type are clear, with the underlying auction information reviewed before reaching a value conclusion. The number of associated records alone does not establish a typical price or market direction, and this identity-focused research does not support 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 Silas Seandel, the current identity evidence is stronger than the collected object-level market evidence.
