Teak and walnut casegoods, only
The record that shows its evidence, and its doubt.
A guided photo report for the teak or walnut piece you are about to sell, refinish, or let go. The reasoning is laid out in writing, not folded into a single confident number.
No account required to see what you have.
The gap
A 1970s veneer piece and a Danish cabinetmaker’s original can look alike in a phone photo and sell for a $200 piece or a $6,000 one. That gap is usually the most expensive decision of the year, made in a garage, on a guess.
A Facebook group returns five confident, contradictory opinions and no way to hold any of them accountable. A general scanner app returns one breezy line and no reasoning a buyer would trust. A paid appraisal service takes two days and is written for insurance, not for a listing.
None of them answer the three questions that move the money: which details support the attribution, whether a refinisher’s quote will cost you standing, and what the piece actually fetches through the channel you’re using.
What’s inside a Full Passport
- Evidence
- Which detail supports the attribution, and which one argues against it, stated in the same paragraph.
- Condition
- Every scratch, veneer loss, replaced hardware and repair, named plainly and without softening.
- Restoration risk
- Whether the work you are about to pay for helps the piece, or costs you collector standing.
- Resale ranges
- What it is likely to bring by channel, local sale, online sale, consignment, dealer retail, with the assumptions named next to each number.
- Listing kit
- A title, a description, a condition disclosure and search tags, ready to paste into a listing.
The one line
Every Evidence section reads a detail at a time: the drawer joint, the control stamp, the veneer edge, each one named as support or as doubt.
It ends with the line no scanner app writes: what these photos could not settle. A confidence grade is a word and a percentage, never a guess dressed up as a fact.
Likely (65-80%). Or, when the evidence is thin: insufficient evidence for a maker attribution, and the exact photo that would change it.

For the trade
Estate-sale companies, consignment shops and independent restorers price pieces like this every week, and need a written basis for what they tell a client.
The 20-passport pack is built for that volume: the same Evidence, Condition and Resale sections, at trade pricing, with credits that carry across every piece a client brings in.
Disclosure
AI-assisted research and market guidance. Not certified authentication, a formal appraisal, an insurance valuation, legal advice, or a guarantee of resale value.
Every attribution is graded, never asserted as fact. When the evidence is thin, the Passport says so and names the photo that would change it.
