Important information about the limitations of AI-generated antique identifications and valuations.
All identifications, valuations, and appraisals generated by Antique Identifier are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute professional appraisal, authentication, or financial advice. Always consult a qualified antique expert or certified appraiser before making any significant financial or commercial decision.
Antique Identifier uses artificial intelligence, specifically OpenAI's GPT-4o Vision model, to analyse photographs and generate identification reports. By its nature, AI-based analysis has significant limitations:
Results generated by Antique Identifier do not constitute a professional appraisal, valuation certificate, authenticity certificate, or expert opinion for any of the following purposes:
For any of the above purposes, please engage a qualified professional appraiser who is a member of a recognised professional body (such as the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, the American Society of Appraisers, or equivalent).
Estimated value ranges provided by the App are indicative only. Actual market values depend on factors that cannot be assessed from a photograph alone, including:
Values can fluctuate significantly. A result showing "$2,000–$5,000" does not guarantee you will achieve or receive that amount if you sell the item.
Antique Identifier cannot reliably distinguish genuine antiques from high-quality reproductions, fakes, or forgeries. Many skilled forgeries have fooled trained human experts — AI analysis from a single photograph provides no guarantee of authenticity. If you suspect an item is particularly valuable or are considering a significant purchase, always seek physical authentication from a specialist.
Tappa expressly disclaims all liability for any loss, damage, or harm arising from decisions made in reliance on information generated by Antique Identifier. This includes but is not limited to:
The App may reference auction houses, dealers, pricing databases, or historical records. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party information. References to specific auction results or market data are based on the AI model's training data and may be outdated or inaccurate.
Articles and guides presented within the App are for general educational purposes only. They represent simplified overviews and should not substitute specialised professional advice for specific items or situations.
