Not everyone will agree on what makes an item "antique" or "vintage". Based off my experience "vintage" is usually applied to items that are at least 25 "I researched the term "vintage" most resources used the benchmark of at least 25 years old up to 100 years old. To me an item that is 90 years old is antique, but I get why they use these years to determine which term to use. Typically vintage items evoke a sense of nostalgia, maybe from childhood, high school, or even college. The term "vintage" can be attributed to a style or a cultural resonance than age. Also in general "vintage" items tend to be more accessible and affordable than "antique" items, there are exceptions.
The term "antique" is generally applied to items of 100 years old or older, valued for its rarity, craftmanship, or historical significance. Antique items often carry stories of bygone era and prized for the condition and authenticity.
Whether you’re drawn to the historical weight of antiques or the nostalgic charm of vintage, understanding their definitions helps you shop smarter and appreciate the stories behind each piece.
