AI-Powered Authentication

Know exactly what you're looking at

Provenance authenticates European mid-century furniture from a single photo. Designer attribution, era identification, market valuation. Built for dealers, collectors, and anyone who refuses to overpay for a fake.


The Problem

Generic apps treat a Chapo like a random chair

Every furniture identification app on the market works the same way: broad coverage, shallow knowledge. They'll tell you something is "Mid-Century Modern" and call it a day.

But mid-century is not one thing. A Pierre Guariche for Steiner and an unsigned reproduction from the 1990s look nearly identical in a listing photo. The difference in value? Thousands of euros.

Provenance doesn't guess. It knows the design language of every major European designer from 1940 to 1979, the construction details that separate authentic from approximate, and the current market data that tells you what a piece is actually worth.

01 — Attribution

Designer identification

Not just "mid-century modern." Specific designer, manufacturer, and production period. Guariche for Airborne, 1954. Chapo for Chapo Création, 1968. The details that determine value.

02 — Valuation

Market-aware pricing

Estimated value based on current auction results, dealer pricing, and condition. Updated continuously. Know whether a listing is a steal or overpriced before you commit.

03 — Authenticity

Fake detection

Construction analysis, material dating cues, and known reproduction patterns. Provenance flags inconsistencies that would take a specialist years of training to spot.

Deep specialization in what matters

Provenance covers the full spectrum of European mid-century design: French, Italian, Scandinavian, German, and British. From reconstruction-era functionalism to late-70s postmodernism.

Every designer in the database was selected and verified by domain experts who buy, authenticate, and sell these pieces daily.
