Antique Classification? What are Etsy's guidelines?

[Former_Member]

We've been noticing variations on what is considered antique. What is Etsy's standard for this classification?
Thank you!

Antique generally refers to an item 20 years or older. All vintage must be from 1993 and before.

Cheers!

Hello,

Etsy breaks antique down from 50 - 100 years old.

Actually, the only legal definition of 'antique' is given by US Customs: 100 years or old. Vintage is 20 yrs or older, but Etsy's and the vintage guild standards.

Etsy defines "antique" as 50 years old, or older.
