Method and limitations
Based on photo analyses in the Antiqly app between October 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026. Values are model estimates from comparable listings, not appraisals. Only totals are published; groups under 20 items are merged into “other”. No photos or personal data are stored or published.
Two sources are used. Era, origin and maker’s mark figures come from analyses saved in the iPhone app. Maker, value, material and condition figures come from stored results from the iPhone and Android apps, available from July 11, 2026, where the same set of photos is counted once.
Era and origin are read from the model’s written answer, which comes in many languages, and grouped by us. A date range such as 1880 to 1910 is placed by its middle year. Values use the median of the estimate for results priced in US dollars; other currencies are left out. Materials are grouped by the first material listed.
The app has no test flag, so test scans cannot be removed one by one. We removed records without a date, re-analyses of the same item and items the model marked as out of scope. A few people scan many items, so groups with fewer than 5 different people are merged into “other”; for countries of origin the minimum is 10 different people.
These numbers describe what Antiqly users chose to scan. They are not a sample of all antiques, and they are not price guidance for a specific item.
