Curio - Antique Expert In Your Pocket
Curio is the antique identifier app that tells you what your old things are, where they came from, and what they're worth. Snap a photo of any antique, vintage item, or collectible and get an answer in seconds. Whether you're going through a parent's house, hunting at thrift stores and estate sales, running a resale business, or just curious about the treasures on your shelves, Curio turns "I have no idea what this is" into a clear answer.
KEY FEATURES:
Instant Antique Identification
Just take a picture. Curio's identification engine tells you what the item is, who made it, where it's from, and roughly when it was made. Furniture, paintings, pottery, porcelain and china, glassware, clocks, rugs, coins, currency, books, jewelry, and much more. Not sure about that vase from Grandma's cabinet? Snap a photo and find out.
Estimated Value & Quick Appraisal
Find out what your antique is worth. Curio gives you an estimated price range based on what similar pieces are on the market for, so you know what to ask if you're selling and what to pay if you're buying. Never overpay at an antique store again, and never let a valuable piece go for a dollar at a yard sale.
The History Behind Every Piece
Curio doesn't just name your item. It tells you its story: the maker, the era, the style, and why it matters. For many of our users the history is their favorite part, even when they have no plans to sell.
Visual Matches
See similar items on the market from across the web, with photos, so you can compare your piece with your own eyes and check the estimate for yourself. Tap any match to open it right inside the app.
Add Details for Better Results
Spotted a maker's mark on the bottom, a signature, or a pattern name? Add it in a tap. Curio updates the description and the estimated value using your extra details, so results get sharper the more you know.
Catalog Your Collection
Every item you identify is saved to your personal collection. Organize your pieces into collections, revisit their stories anytime, and export them as a PDF to share with family or keep for your records. Many people use Curio to build a home inventory, or to document heirlooms so their kids know what's worth keeping. Sign in to back up and sync across all your devices.

This app is spot on! It’s accurate and I love that if you have additional details to add that can’t be submitted with the one photo, you can use the pencil tool to add further information on your item. The description then updates as well as the estimated price that the item could be worth! It’s so simple to use and gives you results within seconds! I think the yearly cost of the app is a steal and well worth the price. I’m so happy I pulled the trigger on this one! I’ve been scanning items left & right and love finding out more on these prized possessions and what they’re worth. What an amazing tool to have! You won’t be disappointed!!
Wonderful - would love a couple of improvements

I am really pleased with this app. It gives me so much more historical context than a google lens’s search. The estimated value is a little high sometimes but that’s understandable based on online items for sale. However there is one huge gap that would make this app 5 stars and ensure I use it for life - the ability to add text context when you upload a picture. I can have an item with a clear makers mark, but I have nowhere to notate that with the photo, so it often gives me details of the incorrect item because it has to guess at the maker based on the one photo I can upload. Please please add this feature! It would also be amazing to be able to navigate away from the app while it’s “analyzing” without causing it to error and hav in f to start over. Hoping to see improvements to this wonderful app!

Appologies for swearing. LOL. I was impressed. Downloaded the app with the weekly option. Immediately put it through its paces with an array of antiques I have four out of five were spot on including a Tang dynasty clay sculpture. #5 was off a bit as it was a Pacific Islander war club attributed to Samoa and not the Solomon Islands. However both are very similar in design. I dropped back in to the app and upgraded to the yearly subscription. This app along with Live Auctioneers should be a really good match and make each tool even more useful. Bravo!
Developer Response
Wow! Thank you—what a flattering review. So glad to hear Curio is a useful tool for you and hope you will recommend it to others.
ID good.

This app does a pretty good job of identifying antiques and their origins. Sometimes, however, it’s way off base and identifies silver poorly. The worst part of this app is its market value estimations. Everything is $50-$150. Everything and considering the state of the antiques market currently these prices are way over blown. It would be helpful if you could put in information that you already know about a piece before it does its analysis. For instance, I had a silver dish from pre-1914 and the app identified it as 1950s silver plate. Once I entered the additional information that it was pre-1914 with no identification on the back other than hallmarks ,it identified it as Sterling from England and guess what ,the current value was $100-$150. Useful for ID only.
