Know What
You Own.

The cataloguing platform for art, antiques, and collections. Snap a photo and let the Advisor identify and value it — or catalogue it yourself, with AI only when you ask. Your collection, documented, valued, and ready for whatever comes next.

Why Heirloom

You track your money.
Who's tracking your things?

Your accounts have an app — balances, history, a net worth that updates itself. Meanwhile the painting over the mantel, your grandfather's watch, the shelf of first editions: no ledger, no values, no plan. Heirloom does for your physical assets what your finance apps do for your money — one dashboard where everything you own is identified, valued, and accounted for.

Two Ways In

Whether you're wondering
or you already know

Most apps assume you know nothing about your things. Collectors know better. Heirloom is built for both — and never makes the expert sit through the beginner flow.

“Identify it for me”

Found it in the attic. Inherited it. Just curious.

Snap a few photos and the Advisor identifies the maker, period, and materials, asks the right clarifying questions, and estimates market value from comparable sales — in about a minute.

  • Maker, period & material identification
  • Estimated value range with confidence
  • Clarifying questions when it matters

“I know this item”

You're the collector. You did the research years ago.

Catalogue it yourself — maker, provenance, condition, your own valuation. Your word is the record. The Advisor stays quiet unless you ask it for a second opinion or market comparables.

  • Full manual cataloguing — no AI, unless you ask
  • Your estimates are never overwritten
  • On-demand research & comparable sales

How It Works

Four stages to a
fully catalogued piece

Every item moves through the same four stages a professional cataloguer would use — whether the Advisor does the work or you do.

1

Examine

Photograph the piece — marks, signatures, condition. The record starts with what's physically in front of you.

2

Identify

Maker, period, materials, and style — attributed by the Advisor, or asserted by you.

3

Comparables

Real comparable sales from auction records anchor the value — review them, keep the ones that match.

4

Provenance

Ownership history, documents, and appraisals — the story that makes a piece an heirloom.

What Heirloom Does

Everything a collection needs,
in one place

The Advisor

Photo-based identification and valuation with visible confidence levels — and honest about uncertainty. Estimates are informational, never dressed up as appraisals.

Collection Management

Catalogue, tag, search, and track value across your whole collection — with photos, documents, dimensions, serial numbers, and audio notes on every piece.

Research & Comparables

Reverse image search across auction records, comparable-sale review, and a research chat that digs into maker histories and market context — all on demand.

Expert Introductions

For pieces that deserve professional eyes: get introduced to specialist appraisers and dealers for authentication, appraisal, or sale — you control what's shared.

Estate & Insurance Ready

Beneficiary designations, estate sharing with your attorney or executor, and exportable inventory reports for insurance conversations.

Private by Design

Your collection is yours. Every record is isolated to your account, photos live in private storage, sharing is opt-in per item, and you can export or delete everything.

Who It's For

Built for the people who
care about the objects

Collectors

Document the collection you know inside out. Your attributions, your valuations, your provenance — organized, tracked, and export-ready.

Inheritors & Families

Grandma's china, the painting from the estate, the watch in the drawer. Find out what things are, what they're worth, and what to do next.

Estate & Insurance Pros

Work from complete, well-documented inventories. Clients share collections with you directly — values, photos, provenance and all.

Experts & Appraisers

Receive qualified introductions from collectors who need authentication, appraisals, or sale advice in your specialty. No account required to respond.
