AmericanAntiques.co is an independent field guide to American material culture and the evidence carried by surviving objects.
What the site does
It organizes identification, period, region, material, maker-mark, condition, provenance, preservation, and marketplace research. It encourages conservative wording and full alteration disclosure.
What the site does not do
It does not issue formal appraisals, certificates, conservation treatment, legal opinions, cultural-property clearance, or guarantees about third-party listings.
American is a claim that needs definition
An object may be made in America, imported for American use, retailed by an American business, owned by an American family, adapted within an American community, or simply found in America. The site treats those as different statements.
