A better way to compare

Work from observation to evidence.

Start broad, compare several records, and narrow only when a detail is clear.

  1. 01

    Observe

    Look at both sides and note the object form, dominant colors, stones, hardware, and construction you can actually see.

  2. 02

    Search

    Begin with one or two strong clues. Leave uncertain filters blank instead of guessing.

  3. 03

    Compare

    Open several records and compare reverse construction as carefully as the decorative front.

  4. 04

    Decide

    Look for agreement across multiple independent details and keep conflicting evidence in view.

Build an evidence set

Identification works best as comparison, not a single clue.

Start with the whole object, then move from construction to materials, layout, and documented comparables.
