A personal digital reliquary.
A curated, research-backed catalogue of antiques and historical items. Each entry is documented with provenance, condition, valuation notes and reference material.
The site is the public face of an extensive private Notion database, and it exists to show how a careful schema, a considered visual language and editorial writing turn a personal collection into something genuinely useful.
Oxblood and cream, borrowed from leather-bound archives. The palette is doing work: it signals age and care before a single entry is read.

Curation, schema and copy are mine. The site code is not.
It was written by Perplexity, Claude Opus 4.7 and Claude Sonnet 4.6 under direction. Saying so is the point: the interesting work here was deciding what a collection entry should contain, not typing the markup.
The archive is public and growing. Browse the collection as it stands today.
