Coming Soon: The Rebirth of Orange Umber

A Story-Driven Auction House for the Rare, the Mythic, and the Unrepeatable

Orange Umber is being reimagined not just as a marketplace, but as a living, evolving creative auction house that blends cultural relics, curated storytelling, and soon, AI-powered experiences.

This isn’t eBay.
This is a curated event.
A collector’s drop.
A myth you can hold.

🎨 What Orange Umber Will Be

Imagine a space where:

• 🔸 Rare artifacts from deep expeditions are auctioned with their full stories

• 🔸 Small-batch drops like “5 Masks from Java” arrive unannounced and sell out in hours

• 🔸 Collectors and curators co-create the experience from consignment to curation

• 🔸 Artists & guest curators shape themed sales and collaborations

It’s a creative utility arm spun out of Masks of the World, but looser, wilder, and designed for those who crave rarity with resonance.

🤖 Coming AI Capabilities

We’re exploring AI tools to enhance the experience without killing the magic.

• 🧠 AI-Powered Provenance Explorer
  Let collectors explore the deeper history and context of a mask with AI-assisted overlays, timelines, and cultural insights.

• 🎥 AI Curator Companion
  A conversational guide that tells the story behind each item — from rituals to regional evolution — as you explore the auction.

• 🪄 Dynamic Drop Alerts
  AI learns your collector profile and pings you when a drop matches your taste, origin interest, or thematic style.

• 📦 Visual Archive Builder (experimental)
  After winning an item, you get a personalized collector dossier — with images, background, artist/curator notes, and potential value insights.

This isn’t just a place to buy.
It’s a place to collect meaning.

🌐 A Marketplace for the Mythically Inclined

Orange Umber isn’t for everyone.
It’s for those who want their collections to say something.
To hold a story.
To outlast trends.
