Antiques are generally over 100 years old.
Otherwise it would be considered vintage.

Technically, it must be 100 years old to be considered an antique; until then, it is just a collectible

Something is considered an antique when it is over seventy-five years old.

When it's covered in plastic for 40 years, and you inherit from grandma.......and no one ever sat on the real fabric...and it's in perfect condition...and has real wood
but no one wants it but the antique dealer for $20
However, if you marry rich and they have antique furniture...then it's worth $1000....

generally speaking - anything over 100 years old should be considered old - of course in Europe and further east, there are things that are thousands of years old, so everything is relative.

When it is old and someone will pay money for it, otherwise it's old and junk.
