About Pastel
Pastel is a U.S.-based marketplace dedicated to antiques, vintage treasures, and collectible art, designed for people who value objects with history, craftsmanship, and character. Sellers can list items in seconds and reach a global audience of collectors and designers, supported by AI tools that uncover provenance, identify eras and materials, and generate rich, factual descriptions. Buyers explore thousands of verified pieces through short, engaging videos and detailed provenance stories, shopping with transparency and confidence. With free listings, integrated storefronts, and secure payments, Pastel is building the modern infrastructure for the antiques world while keeping its stories at the center.
What We're Building
The antiques and collectibles market is one of the world's largest yet remains highly fragmented and underserved by modern technology. Discovery is difficult, provenance is often unclear, and selling unique pieces online can be slow and complicated.
Pastel is reimagining this experience by combining marketplace infrastructure with AI-powered tools that help sellers identify, describe, and showcase their collections while giving buyers greater confidence in every purchase. From AI-assisted provenance research to immersive video-based discovery and secure global transactions, we're building the modern marketplace for antiques, vintage treasures, and collectible art.
