AI technology

AI antique appraisal. Know what you are holding.

Not generic image recognition, but specialised antique knowledge that explains what a piece is, whether it is authentic and what it is worth.

The decision behind every object

Not just a photo app. A digital antique expert.

Google Lens recognises a vase as "vase." AntiqBot recognises a Kangxi-period blue-and-white plate from the early 18th century with an apocryphal Chenghua mark, and tells you what that means for the value and for your next step: sell, keep or insure.

AI antique valuation only works when the technology rests on something solid. For Dutch and Belgian artists the system references authoritative sources such as the RKD, and valuations are compared against recent auction results from Catawiki, Christie's, Sotheby's and Bernaerts.

AI does not replace an expert. But it democratises access to expertise that was previously only available to insiders.

More than 20 specialised modules, each trained on the specific characteristics of their category.

The technology

What makes AntiqBot AI different.

01
Specialised modules
Not one model for everything, but 20+ modules that each master their own category. Porcelain, silver, paintings, each with unique characteristics.
02
Grounded market value
Valuations based on recent auction results from Catawiki, Christie's, Sotheby's, Bonhams and Drouot. Not outdated catalogue prices, but what comparable pieces fetch today.
03
Context-rich analyses
Not just "what is it?" but also "why is it worth that?" and "what do I do now?", with explanations about period, style and authenticity markers.
What AI can and cannot do

Honest about the limits.

AI appraisal is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for hands-on expertise. A photo does not show everything: the weight of silver, the texture of a glaze, the smell of old wood. That is why AntiqBot is explicitly a first orientation that helps you decide what to do with a piece.

For valuable items we always recommend a physical inspection by a specialised expert. AntiqBot helps you determine whether that investment is worthwhile.

FAQ

Questions about AI antique appraisal.

How reliable is AI for antiques?

AI excels at pattern recognition: marks, style features, decoration patterns. Combined with expertise and authoritative sources such as the RKD, this delivers reliable first indications. For definitive authentication of valuable items, physical inspection remains necessary.

What is the difference with Google Lens?

Google Lens is generic image recognition. AntiqBot is specialised antique AI: it recognises not only what an object is, but provides context about period, origin, authenticity and value, so you know what you can do with it.
