Why are antiques still popular? Well, let’s start by identifying what is
considered an antique.
An antique is a collectible object such as a piece of furniture, work of
art or an item that is of value because of its considerable age. Merriam
Webster dictionary considers an antique “being from the style or
fashion of former times”.
Antiques are popular today for many reasons, including the nostalgia
one may feel when they recognize an item from days gone by, the
quality of the piece or simply the charm and character found in
antiquities. At The Local, we have a wide array of antiques and take
pride in our range of inventory. We are always sourcing and adding to
