Art and collectible appraisal
A structured approach to understanding what you own. Identification, market context, rarity, authenticity signals, provenance, and condition — brought together in one report.
What goes into an appraisal
Six dimensions of analysis, each drawing on specialized research and pattern recognition trained on millions of records.
Object identification
Classification of type, maker, origin, materials, and period based on visual evidence and contextual research.
Market context
Value range estimates informed by auction records, market liquidity, and comparable sales data.
Rarity assessment
Scoring based on production volume, survival rate, market frequency, and cultural significance.
Authenticity signals
Pattern recognition for reproduction traits, material inconsistencies, and period misalignments.
Provenance context
Ownership history analysis including timeline plausibility, documentation gaps, and geographic continuity.
Condition and materials
Surface analysis, wear documentation, material identification, and preservation indicators.
What you receive
Every appraisal produces a structured report with clear indicators and transparent confidence levels.
Value range estimate
A market-informed price range based on auction records and comparable sales, expressed as a range rather than a single figure.
Rarity score
A 1-to-10 score reflecting how uncommon the object is, based on market frequency, survival rates, and cultural significance.
Historical context
Background on the object's period, origin, maker, and cultural significance, written in accessible language.
Confidence indicators
Transparent confidence levels showing how certain or uncertain each dimension of the assessment is.
