Overview
Providing asset intelligence for the world’s leading cultural and financial institutions.
At Ad Restitūtio, we provide comprehensive intelligence to help insurers and institutions reclaim stolen heritage, transforming dormant write-offs into high-yield recoveries. While we maintain a vigilant, automated watch over all major and secondary global auctions, our true edge lies in seeing the hidden digital landscape. We proactively analyze the vast pool of publicly accessible visual data, spanning non-traditional marketplaces, social media, real estate listings, and news articles. Our specialized deep AI identifies missing masterpieces tucked away in the backgrounds of everyday photos, ensuring that no stone is left unturned, from the auction block to the digital backdrop.
1,200 objects monitored from the Polish ministry initiative

"Portrait of a Lady"
Stolen from a private collection by the Nazis in 1944
In a landmark 2025 recovery, a masterpiece stolen in 1944 was finally located, not through a database, but through a manual discovery. This case serves as a perfect benchmark for the limits of traditional recovery. Ad Restitūtio used this historical case to validate our engine, testing whether our AI could have bridged that gap in a matter of hours.
Our team ingested the archival representation of the stolen work and ran a retrospective scan, with an alert generated within a few hours. While the painting was unlabelled and appeared in an obscure location, our AI successfully identified the work with 96% confidence.
By generating an automated evidence packet immediately upon detection, our platform proves that we don't just find art—we find it before it can be moved, damaged, or lost to history again. We turn a generation’s worth of searching into a weekend’s worth of processing.
