Question:

How old does an item have to be to be considered 'antique'???

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I have heard that antique societies generally say that after 100 years an item is officially considered "antique." That is why you hear the word "vintage" more frequently - you can apply it to items (like clothing) that aren't as old.
