Describe the piece honestly. Sell it anyway.
A listing that names a maker you can't prove is a refund waiting to happen. VitrineList writes the search-optimised copy and tells you, line by line, which details it actually saw and which it only inferred.
First listing free. No account, no card.
Why dealer listings are slow
No two pieces are the same
There is no template to duplicate and no previous listing to copy. Every item is a blank form and forty minutes, and the piece you photographed last week is still in a box.
You can't prove half of what you suspect
The styling says 1930s. The joinery says earlier. There's no mark anywhere. You know roughly what it is and you cannot write down a single word of it as fact.
Overclaiming is expensive
“Solid walnut” on something veneered, or a maker's name you inferred from a shape, is how a sale becomes a return, a refund and a public review.
The same table, described two ways
Unmarked gilt side table, no paperwork. The first is what a general AI assistant writes when you ask it for a listing.
Don't
Stunning authentic Louis XV giltwood side table, circa 1890, hand-carved in France by a master craftsman. Solid gold leaf over walnut. A rare investment piece.
Do
Gilt Two-Tier Side Table | Marble-Look Tops with Carved Shell Detail, Cabriole Legs, French Rococo Style Accent Table. Carved giltwood frame in the Rococo manner, shaped upper tier, cabriole legs ending in scrolled feet.
Built for one-of-a-kind stock
Every detail labelled by how it's known
Materials, style, period, condition and origin each come back marked observed, inferred, or needing verification — so you can see at a glance which parts of the description you're actually standing behind.
Unverifiable claims never reach the copy
Makers, exact years, authenticity and value are barred from the title and description outright. Not hedged — absent. There is no sentence to walk back.
More angles, more certainty
Photograph the underside stamp, the back edge, the joint. Extra photos move details out of “inferred” and into “observed”, which is the whole reason the higher plan allows more of them.
Correct it when it's wrong
You're holding the object; the model isn't. Tell it what the piece actually is and regenerate — your correction outranks its read of the photo, and anything it can't see is still labelled honestly.
Try it on a piece you can't identify
One photo is enough to start. Your first listing is free and needs no account.
More marketplaces are coming. Etsy is the only one live today.
Pricing
Volume is the only difference between plans. The confidence labelling is on every tier, including the free one.

How to describe a vintage item you can't identify
You have a piece with no maker's mark and no paperwork. Here's how to write a listing that sells it without claiming anything you can't back up.
Can you call it vintage on Etsy? The 20-year rule in plain terms
Etsy requires vintage items to be at least 20 years old. What that means in practice, what counts as proof, and what to write when you're not sure.
The claims you can't make in a resale listing
Maker, date, material, authenticity, value. Five claims that turn a description into a problem, and the hedged phrasing that sells just as well.
