Antiques are a real art of collecting.

Antiques-this word comes from the Latin antiquus and is used to characterize OLD things that have cultural or historical value.
This concept appeared in the 18th century, when the basis of the world market of historical, cultural and artistic heritage began to form.
The first and most important condition for recognizing an antique item is its venerable age. Different countries have different age thresholds.
For example, in Russia, antiques need to "pass" the 50-year mark for this (Presidential Decree "On the sale of antiques and the creation of an authorized state control body for the preservation of cultural values"; the Law of the Russian Federation "On the export and import of cultural values").
In the UK-it is necessary to celebrate (at least) the 100th anniversary.
The global average figure in this regard is the age of 60 years.
In addition to the age, it is necessary to take into account the rarity or prevalence of the alleged antiques and their artistic or historical value.
It is absolutely clear that the older the thing, the number of them that have survived to this day decreases. And even, what was considered a circulation thing for a very, very long time (for example, the helmet of a soldier of the Roman legion, which were produced by thousands, calendars that were produced by hundreds ), today is an antique with the impossibility of repeating it.
