Antique things have an appreciation and worth. Something can be old, but it can be timeless; therefore, it becomes an antique. If this antique is preserved and deemed precious, it could be passed down as a family heirloom.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I tend to like antique things. Something can be old, but it can be timeless.
A museum has to renew its collection to be alive, but that does not mean we give on important old works.
Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.
Our admiration of the antique is not admiration of the old, but of the natural.
On the other hand, I don't understand the enthusiasm for everything in the antique shop that Grandma threw out. There, the sense of quality has declined; otherwise Grandma wouldn't have thrown it out.
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
I'm the oldest antique in town.
A timeless piece of jewelry, like pearls or stud earrings, has lasting value. I bought a vintage ring for $600 with my first paycheck; I plan to pass it down to my daughter.
Our culture's obsession with vintage objects has rendered us unable to separate history from nostalgia. People want heart. They want a chaser of emotion with their aesthetics.
You have to fight against being an antique.
