Three expert research areas, all in one place
Why Antique Research Matters
Accurate identification and fair appraisal are essential when buying, selling, or insuring antiques and collectibles. Knowing a maker's mark, place of origin, and age helps you understand history and avoid costly mistakes. Checking recent sales ensures you don't pay too much or sell too low.

With decades of expertise, we've built online tools that make antique research practical and efficient.

- Smart Search Price Guides - Access millions of auction records from trusted houses in the US, UK, Europe, and beyond. Find actual sale prices, not estimates.
- Name & Initials Search - Quickly locate silversmiths, jewelers, and artisans using proprietary search tools designed for tricky initials and overlapping marks.
