The problem today
Listing is the bottleneck — not the selling.
One wrong period attribution costs you the sale and the trust.
Identifying maker's marks, hallmarks and reign marks is slow — and easy to misread.
Translating French/German antiques terminology accurately needs a specialist, not Google Translate.
Across porcelain, silver, watches, furniture — every category has its own vocabulary you can't fake.
What you get
Built for your workflow.
1-click photo cut-out
Shoot a piece in the shop or at a fair and let Genlista isolate it on a pure white studio backdrop — preserving marks, patina and detail. One click, included on every plan.
Mark & period recognition
Reign marks, hallmarks, maker's stamps, foundry marks — the Assistant reads them and cross-references against authenticated databases before drafting.
Red-flag detection
Reproductions, marriages, later additions, regilding, refinishing — flagged before you publish. Catch fakes before buyers catch them.
Category-specific vocabulary
Porcelain, silver, furniture, watches, glass, scientific instruments, tribal art — each gets the correct terminology, not generic 'antique decor' filler.
Multilingual, accurately
Antiques terminology in EN, NL, FR, DE, IT, ES — vetted against the actual vocabulary used in each country's trade. No 'horloge ancienne' for a pocket watch.
Specialist-grade listings
Period-correct copy, across every channel.
