An antique is a work of art, including a piece of furniture, a decorative object which, according to some experts must be at least 100 years old. The value of an antique depends upon certain parameters including its authenticity, beauty, age, rarity and condition.
Traditionally speaking, an antique also means objects preceding the mass production of objects in the 1830’s; it can also include anything very old, a relic or an object of ancient times or the bygone era.
