Antique Identifier & Value

Identify antiques by photo and discover the story behind old and vintage items.

Antique Identifier helps you explore an item’s possible era, origin, materials, condition, rarity and estimated value range.

Scan a photo, review the details, ask follow-up questions and save what you find.

IDENTIFY ANTIQUES BY PICTURE

Take a photo or choose one from your gallery. The antique identifier by picture reviews visible clues and suggests a likely name, category, era, origin and material. If you want to identify an antique by photo, start with one sharp, well-lit image that fills the frame. It can help with furniture, ceramics, glass, metalware, jewelry, art and other collectibles.

UNDERSTAND VALUE—WITH CONTEXT

Use the estimated range as an antique value estimator and antique value checker—a starting point for research, not a guaranteed sale price. If you are asking “what is my antique worth?”, use the range as an initial reference. This is not a professional antique appraiser by picture or an authentication service.

EXPLORE THE DETAILS

• Likely item name and category

• Estimated era, origin and materials

• Description and historical background

• Estimated value range

• Condition from Poor to Excellent

• Rarity from Common to Very Rare

• Confidence indicator

ASK FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS

Wondering what a mark means, what details to photograph or what may affect value? Continue with AI chat after a scan. For a pottery identifier by photo or porcelain identifier by photo search, choose a clear view of the base, signature or maker’s mark. Those details can also help when using the app as a hallmark identifier or pottery marks identifier.

SAVE YOUR FINDS

Recent scans and items added to your collection are stored on your device and can be viewed offline after they are saved. Browse Popular Antiques curated from museum collection data from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Antique Identifier is independent and is not endorsed by or affiliated with The Met.

COMPARE ASKING PRICES

Open an eBay search shortcut to compare current asking prices for similar items. Asking prices are not verified sale prices and may differ from actual market value. Antique Identifier is not affiliated with or endorsed by eBay.

FOR COLLECTORS AND CURIOUS FINDERS

Use Antique Identifier as a vintage item identifier, collectible identifier by photo, old item identifier, estate sale value scanner or flea market item identifier. It is useful for thrift-store discoveries, inherited objects, market finds and collection research.

IMPORTANT LIMITS

Antique Identifier uses AI and can be wrong. Results depend on photo quality and available visual clues. Estimated value ranges are informational estimates only—not a professional appraisal, authentication, guarantee of age, origin or value, or advice to buy, sell or insure an item. For valuable, rare or sensitive items, consult a qualified appraiser or relevant specialist.

AI identification and follow-up chat require an internet connection. Saved history and collection work offline on your device. Free use includes ads and scan/chat limits. An optional subscription provides unlimited scans, unlimited AI chat and removes ads.
