antique vs. vintage?

Don’t want to mess up the lingo when you’re at the thrift store? This is for you-

According to the antiques industry and common acceptance, in order for something to be classified as antique, it must be at least 100 years old

Pieces that are at least 300 years of age can also be referred to as antiquities or artifacts.

Vintage simply means old

The meaning of the word “vintage” is simply “of age,” making it more difficult to set a specific age requirement. However, many say vintage items are at least 20 years old. So, generally speaking, something can be considered vintage if it is between 20 and 99 years old.
