Veneer: AI MCM Furniture ID

Snap any chair, table, or lamp -- AI returns designer, manufacturer, year, materials, market value. Authenticity confidence on most-faked icons. For collectors.

Spotted a chair at an estate sale that looks Eames? Inherited a teak credenza you can't identify? Walking through a thrift store wondering if that tulip table is real Knoll? Veneer identifies mid-century modern furniture from a single photo using AI vision. Point your camera, get a structured ID card in 5 seconds: designer, manufacturer, model, year of production, original materials, and current market value range.

VENEER PRO

For unlimited identifications, persistent history, no ads, and the features serious MCM collectors actually need:

• Authenticity Confidence: three-tier framework distinguishing ORIGINAL vintage production (1950s-1980s) from LICENSED REISSUE (Herman Miller for Eames, Knoll for Barcelona / Saarinen, Carl Hansen for Wegner -- these ARE authentic, just not vintage) from UNAUTHORIZED REPLICA (mass-market without licensing). More nuanced than binary real/fake -- the licensed-reissue tier matters because the new market is full of legitimate manufacturer-licensed pieces alongside knockoffs.
• Auction comps from 1stDibs, LAMA, Wright, and Rago -- what comparable pieces actually sold for at auction, not just asking prices
• Full nearby-dealer locator up to 500-mile radius (Free is 5 closest)
• Unlimited identifications (Free is 5/day) and unlimited saved collection
• No advertisements

Pricing: $7.99/mo, $39.99/yr (auto-renewing, save 58%), or $59.99 lifetime (one-time). Subs auto-renew unless cancelled in Settings 24h before period end.

WHO USES VENEER

• Collectors cataloging their MCM pieces and validating new acquisitions
• Estate-sale and thrift-shop hunters confirming what they're looking at before bidding
• Anyone who inherited a piece from a parent or grandparent and wants to know what they have

Veneer is a reference tool, not a marketplace. We identify what you photograph and surface auction comps and dealer locations. We don't sell furniture, broker transactions, or take a cut on any sale. The Authenticity Confidence framework highlights production-run tells but is NOT a substitute for in-person appraisal by a qualified MCM specialist on a high-value piece.
