Questions people ask

Is the object really talking to me?
An AI is speaking, given the researched history of this exact piece — its material, its era, where it was found, the marks it carries. It doesn't invent a past. It tells you the one we documented.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. One tap on „Talk to me" and the conversation starts. No account, no app, no email required.
Do you ship outside Austria?
Yes — we've shipped to 57 countries over seven years, including the US, the UK and across Asia. Everything is packed for the distance.
What about the dents and the patina?
They stay. Every mark is described honestly in the listing and shown in the photos — we don't polish away a hundred years of use. Ask the object about them; it has opinions.
