Questions before you scan?
A few useful notes for getting the most from an antique identification app.
Can I identify an antique from a photo?
Yes. Antique Identifier uses a photo of your object to suggest what it is, when it may have been made, where it could be from, and the clues behind the result. For the best match, photograph the whole item and any maker’s marks or hallmarks.
Can the app tell me how much my antique is worth?
The app can provide an indicative value range to help you research a piece, compare similar objects, or decide what to look into next. It is not a formal appraisal, and condition, provenance, rarity, and local market demand can change the final price.
What kinds of antiques can I scan?
Try furniture, ceramics, glassware, jewelry, paintings, clocks, coins, toys, books, textiles, decorative objects, and vintage finds. If the object is unusual, the app can still surface useful visual clues and research directions.
Is Antique Identifier available on iPhone?
Antique Identifier is available today on Google Play and the App Store.
How do I take a good photo for identification?
Use daylight, keep the item in focus, avoid reflections, and include a second close-up of signatures, stamps, labels, or unusual details. A clean background makes the object easier to analyze.
