Antiques | A definition | Tongeren Brocante Market Belgium
An antique is an item by value because of its aesthetic or historical significance. Often defined as at least 100 years old, although the term is often used loosely to describe any object that is old.
Simply put, an antique is any item — whether it be a work of art, jewelry, carpets or everyday objects like housewares and accessories — that is over 100 years old. Vintage items are much younger, less than 100 years old, and typically have a collector’s appeal.
An antique is a piece of furniture with special value due its age, especially one with fine artistry or craftmanship. Many antique stores will say that items 50 years or older are considered antique, while antique dealers might define it as 150 years or older. At Tongeren Antique Market Belgium you find almost everything !
