Features & Capabilities

Unlock the hidden history & value of your treasures! Scan antiques - from family heirlooms to flea market finds - for instant insights & appraisals.

Antique Identifier is the most comprehensive mobile solution for collectors, estate sale enthusiasts and history buffs. Designed to bridge the gap between amateur discovery and professional appraisal, this app uses advanced computer vision and a vast database of historical artefacts to provide instant information on almost any vintage item.

Whether you've inherited a family heirloom, found a unique piece at a flea market or are managing an estate sale, Antique Identifier provides the clarity you need. Our technology analyses visual data to determine the origin, era, material and estimated market value of items ranging from textiles and furniture to ceramics and jewellery.

Detailed Identification Features

The core of the application is a high-precision scanning engine. Unlike generic image search tools, Antique Identifier is specifically trained on thousands of categories of antiques. By utilising the Multi-Angle Scan feature, users can provide the AI with multiple perspectives of an object, ensuring that intricate details, textures and structural nuances are captured for a more accurate result.

Maker Marks and Hallmarks

One of the most challenging aspects of antique collecting is identifying the manufacturer or artisan. Our dedicated Maker Mark and Hallmark database allows you to scan stamps, signatures, engravings and silver hallmarks. Within seconds, the app cross-references these marks against a global registry to reveal the manufacturer, the location of production and the specific year of the item’s creation. This feature is essential for verifying authenticity and determining if a piece is a genuine original or a later reproduction.

Valuation and Market Trends

Understanding the monetary value of an antique is critical for insurance, resale or personal knowledge. Antique Identifier provides an estimated value range based on current auction results and market trends. Each valuation comes with a confidence rating (Low, Medium or High) to help you understand the reliability of the estimate based on available data. You can track the rarity and condition of your items to see how these factors influence the final price.

Historical and Educational Context

We believe that every antique has a story. Beyond just a price tag, the app provides deep historical insights. For example, if you scan a piece of furniture, the app can explain how specific construction techniques, such as hand-cut dovetail joints versus machine-cut joints, indicate a pre-1860 construction date. If you scan a textile, such as a Japanese Kurotomesode Kimono, the app will explain the symbolism of the motifs, such as cranes for longevity or pine trees for endurance.
