Antiques
An antique is a collectible item, such as a piece of furniture or a work of art that has great value due to its age, quality, rarity, and unique characteristics. For an item to qualify as an antique, it must be at least 100 years old. The term “antique” primarily refers to works of art, paintings, furniture, jewelry, or decorative items.
Vintage
The term vintage means that the item comes from a style that was popular in another era and generally refers to items less than 100 years old. For an item to be considered vintage, it must be of high quality, have lasting value, and exhibit the most typical characteristics of a past period. Materials, colors, and shapes are the main elements that determine the era of a vintage piece.
There are two divergent viewpoints on the minimum age for vintage. Some believe that an item must be at least 50 years old to be categorized as vintage, while others use the term for items over 20 years old.
Art Objects
An art object is a three-dimensional work of art, generally small in size, of superior quality and finish, in the field of decorative arts. Examples include metalwork, with or without enamel, small sculptures, figurines, and plaques, made of any material, including engraved gems, hardstone carvings, ivory carvings, porcelain, and non-utilitarian glass. It also encompasses a wide range of objects that could also be classified as antiques (antique objects), such as small clocks, watches, gold boxes, and sometimes textiles, particularly tapestries, or even fine book bindings.
The term “art object” is somewhat flexible. It covers a broad spectrum of works, as it is often used as a general term for anything that falls outside the main categories of painting, large or medium-sized sculpture, engraving, or drawing.
