Antiquities Management Software
Document, organise and protect your antiquities collection in one secure place.
Catalogue Roman coins, Greek pottery, Egyptian scarabs and ancient artefacts with provenance, condition reports, and export certificates. Keep authenticity records, provenance, and collection history organised over time.
A Better Way to Document Your Antiquities Collection
How do you properly catalogue antiquities?
Managing antiquities requires meticulous records: provenance, findspot details, condition assessments, export certificates and customs documentation. Notebooks and spreadsheets quickly overwhelm collectors managing extensive data and documentation.
With Art2App Collection Manager, documenting antiquities becomes systematic and reliable. Each artefact gets images, legal documents and condition notes, creating a complete digital archive. This keeps your documentation organized for customs review, insurance, research, or future generations.
Designed for Antiquities Collectors
Roman coins, Greek pottery, Egyptian artefacts and ancient sculpture require specialised documentation: provenance, condition reports, export licences and authenticity certificates. Art2App Collection Manager helps collectors maintain complete, searchable records.
Sculpture & Stone
Record marble statues, limestone reliefs, and stone inscriptions with material analysis, dimensions, surface condition and conservation treatments. Essential for exhibitions and valuation.
Pottery & Ceramics
Document Greek vases, Roman amphorae, and ancient ceramics with fabric analysis, decoration patterns, findspot coordinates and restoration history. Perfect for museum loans and academic research.
Coins & Currency
Catalogue ancient coins with mint marks, die varieties, weight, metal content, and auction history. Track grading certifications and authenticity documentation for insurance and resale.
