Antiques and Collectibles

Antiques are items that are at least 100 years old, valued for their historical significance, craftsmanship, or aesthetic appeal. Collectibles, on the other hand, can be any items sought after by collectors, regardless of age—ranging from stamps and coins to toys and memorabilia. Both categories reflect personal taste, cultural history, and can often appreciate in value over time. People collect antiques and collectibles for various reasons, including nostalgia, investment, or the joy of preserving history. Their worth is often determined by rarity, condition, and demand within the market.
