I would actually really like to see what furniture is considered antique in 1907. Shit has to be like late 1700s to early 1800s

That's like saying antique today must be from Everett's time. It was probably only 20-50 years old.

That would be considered "vintage". Antique today would indeed be from Everett's time.

Upon closer examination, I see that technically, your definition is accurate, but as far as typical usage of the word, "antiques" aren't usually that old.

I feel like the value of antique furniture cratered when inexpensive mass produced stuff became available.

This comic proves me wrong. Nobody ever liked antique furniture.

I think this guy might have some anger issues.
