Snap a photo of any antique, collectible, or heirloom. We'll tell you what it is, what it's worth, and why it matters.
Free instant identification & appraisal
Not a search engine. Not a chatbot. An autonomous agent that works on your behalf — digging through auction archives, cross-referencing dealer catalogs, and building a case for exactly what you have.
Point your camera at anything — a vase at a yard sale, a painting in the attic, a ring at the flea market. The agent takes it from here.
It identifies the maker, era, and style — then asks you the right questions. "Is there a mark on the base?" "Can you photograph the signature?" Each answer sharpens the research. It scours auction results, dealer listings, and collector databases, narrowing with every round.
Comparable sales with links. Price ranges backed by data. The history, the maker, the story. Everything you need to make a confident decision.

Watches, ceramics, paintings, and jewelry each follow a different research path.
Marks, signatures, dimensions, condition, and close-ups come before any value call.
People verify edge cases and guide the research when the answer needs judgment.
