Antiques. Silver, furniture, and much more from 15th to 19th century

What is Antiques?

Antiques refer to objects, furniture and artifacts that are at least 100 years old. What distinguishes them from merely old items is the historical, artistic, or craftsmanship value they carry. It’s not just age that determines the importance of an object, but also its rarity, the quality of its craftsmanship, and the historical context in which it was created.

For example, a Louis XIV-era piece of furniture or a Chinese Ming Dynasty ceramic is not just a beautiful object; it is a historical document that tells the story of a specific era and the taste of its creators. Antiques are therefore a bridge between the past and the present, allowing us to touch history firsthand.

Cultural Value of Antiques

In addition to the economic aspect, antiques play a key role in the enhancement of cultural heritage. Museums, exhibitions, and galleries display ancient objects to educate the public and preserve historical memory.

Owning an antique item is not just about acquiring a material possession; it is also about safeguarding a piece of history. Antique objects tell the story of a time when manual craftsmanship was predominant, where every detail was carefully crafted with precision and love for the art.
