Snap a photo — get identification, age, authenticity and value in seconds.

Identify an Antique

  • What the mark tells you, in plain words
  • Two numbers: what bidders pay, what dealers ask
  • Told when a mark looks like an imitation
  • Your private gallery

An AI estimate based on comparable sales — not a formal appraisal. Consult a certified appraiser for insurance or sale.

Reading Canadian silver

Canada has no compulsory assay system either, so dating rests on the maker rather than on an office. A quality mark such as STERLING or 925 states the standard but not the year; the retailer or silversmith’s mark is what narrows the date. Trove treats the maker’s mark as the dating evidence and says so when it cannot narrow further.
