When I was in the antique furniture restoration business(thanks for retirement) Vintage was at least 50 years and antique was 100 years. Only the age determined the classification and not the construction. But today the sellers have misused these term to their benefit to sell more. Beware of the words in the ad as rare, antique, vintage and collectable. If you are interested in antiques it must 100 years old and then condition condition willl determine the value. Remember sentimental has no value in the sale of antiques.
