Antique Collection Handover Ledger
Create a practical, item-by-item record when an antique collection changes hands, moves between family members, enters storage, or transfers to a new custodian. Capture identifiers, observed condition, documents supplied, and follow-up work without turning the ledger into an appraisal or ownership instrument.
Handover details
Add an item record
Transfer checklist
Mark only what was actually checked or exchanged; the checklist does not replace a signed agreement or specialist condition survey.
Item ledger
No items recorded yet. Each item record is saved locally in this browser.
Good handover practice
Identify without overclaiming
Use an established inventory number where possible. Describe material, form, marks, and components as observed. Record attribution, date, and ownership claims only with their source attached.
Record condition as a snapshot
State when and how an item was viewed, what was not inspected, and whether packaging limited access. Use photographs or a specialist report as separate referenced records rather than implying that this ledger authenticates an object.
Protect sensitive details
This browser-only worksheet may include personal and collection information. Avoid shared/public devices, export only to a secure location, and use a formal agreement for legal title, value, insurance, or loan terms.
