About AntiqBot
Avoid a €500 bad purchase, or find out your €10 flea-market find is worth more: within two minutes you know whether further research is worthwhile.
AntiqBot is an independent web application at antiqbot.com, built by one Belgian antique dealer with thirty years of experience at flea markets, auctions and in the gallery. No team of twenty, no investors, no layers between you and the knowledge that writes the report: you get the eye of a dealer, not a marketing department. Not as a replacement for the human eye, but as an enhancement. A digital assistant that asks the same questions as an experienced dealer: what is it, is it genuine, and what is it worth?
Who is behind AntiqBot
AntiqBot was built by Erwin Truyts, a Belgian antique dealer with more than 30 years of experience at flea markets, auctions and in private collections. He specialises in ceramics, Chinese porcelain and African art, and is an IGI-certified gemmologist. The knowledge behind every module is the same knowledge he uses in daily practice, not an outside team that only knows the trade from a distance.
How it works
Upload a photo at antiqbot.com. AntiqBot analyses the object using multiple layers of artificial intelligence and compares it against millions of references. The result is a report with identification assessment and conservative valuation, enough to know whether a purchase, sale or further research is worthwhile.
Why conservative?
AntiqBot prefers to estimate low rather than high. Valuations are based on recent auction results, not asking prices or gallery optics. AntiqBot itself buys and sells no antiques, so it has no stake in the outcome: no reason to value low to buy cheap, no reason to value high. A conservative estimate protects the buyer and gives the seller a realistic floor price.
Specialist AI modules
AntiqBot uses specialist modules for different categories: CeramCheck for ceramics, PicassoCheck for Picasso Madoura, WatchCheck for timepieces, DalíCheck for Dalí graphics, AfricanArtCheck for African art, and more. Each module is trained on category-specific features and pitfalls.
Who is it for
Collectors buying at flea markets and auctions. Dealers who need to decide quickly. Heirs who want to know what they have. Anyone seeking a second opinion before buying, selling or having items appraised.
AntiqBot is an independent tool available at antiqbot.com, not a replacement for professional expertise. In cases of doubt or high value, we always recommend a physical examination by a certified expert.
