How it works

Three steps between wondering and knowing

Most people spend 20 minutes researching a single piece and still end up guessing. Curio answers in seconds.

  1. Step 1

    Snap a photo

    Point your camera at anything old — a vase, a clock, a piece of jewelry, a painting on the wall.

  2. Step 2

    Curio identifies it

    In seconds you get the maker, the era, the origin, and the history you'd otherwise spend hours researching.

  3. Step 3

    See what it's worth

    An estimated value drawn from online listings for pieces like yours — plus visual matches you can check yourself.

More than a price tag

The whole story behind the piece

Curio doesn't just guess a number. It tells you what the piece is, who made it, where it came from, and how it earned its value — with the online listings to back it up.

  • Maker, era, and country of origin
  • The history behind the piece
  • An estimated value for the piece
  • Similar items listed online, so you can verify

Three use cases

Who Curio is for

A weekend find, a house full of history, or a business to run — the same photo answers a different question for each.

Casual collectors & thrifters

You're at a thrift store, a garage sale, or an estate sale, and the decision has to happen before you reach the register.

  • Check what a piece is worth while you're standing over it
  • Tell a reproduction from the real thing
  • Decide in seconds instead of researching it later at home

Homeowners & inheritors

The china cabinet, the boxes in the attic, a parent's house — pieces you've lived with for years without knowing what they are.

  • Identify the things you already own
  • Decide what to keep, sell, or pass down
  • Catalog a whole house into collections

Dealers, resellers & auctioneers

Inventory doesn't price itself. Curio turns the twenty minutes of research a piece usually takes into a single photo.

  • Price a booth, a lot, or a full estate in one pass
  • Write listings with real history and detail
  • Keep every scan in a catalog you can search

Amazing App!!!

This app is truly helpful and so easy to use. I've been able to catalog dozens of items in my home, discover the origins of many items and be delighted at the value of treasures passed down through my family. If you collect antiques this app is an absolute must!

Life Saver

I have been using the Curio app since May 2025. It has been most helpful in identifying and valuing items I have been/am going thru at my parents house. I can't imagine the hours it would take to research these items without this technology. So glad I came across this!

Lots of Surprises

Since using Curio I've discovered many hidden, valuable treasures in my own home. Helpful when shopping thrift/antique stores. Useful pricing guide. The ‘History’ piece adds to the app. I also like the links to similar items on the internet.

Who knew??!!

Not knowing anything about hand me downs from family, I find Curio incredibly helpful for knowing what to keep or if selling, what to ask as the price. Big fan!

Easy and accurate

I got this app to estimate the value of furniture and collectibles for selling an estate. I find the values are reasonable; having photos of the comparable items is very helpful in verifying estimated prices.

Great App!

I've tried a couple of antique identification applications and they all seem to fall short in different areas. This one is exactly what I was looking for. It is very straightforward and easy to use and especially like the ability to set up collections. This way I have been able to locate items very quickly.
