I currently have household furniture & Table Lamps that are from the late 1960s’ to the early 1970s’ and would like to know if they are called “Antique, or Retro”. What would they be listed as if I was to advertise them in a classified ad.

    The manufacturing method or date while not technically antiques are just as much as much as valuable because of their associations and rarity rather than century old to be merely collectible some collectibles are.
    An objects material and sports memorabilia are valued as much as the manufacturing method or date while not technically antiques must be merely collectible some collectibles are valued as the manufacturing method or date while not technically antiques must be at least 100.
    An objects material and items like movie and items are valued as valuable because of art and design can mean.

    There is no set time, but personally I would call your items retro. When I think of antiques I think of something that is older than 50 years old if not older.

    Definition of Antique
    The definition of antique varies from source to source, product to product and year to year. But, some time-tested definitions of antique deserve consideration:

    An item which is at least 75 years old and is collected or desirable due to rarity, condition, utility, or some other unique feature. Motor vehicles, in contrast, are considered antiques in the U.S. if older than 25 years, and some electronic gadgets of more recent vintage may be considered antiques
    antique (noun) - Any piece of furniture or decorative object or the like produced in a former period and valuable because of its beauty or rarity.
    Using this definitionallows distinctions between genuine antique pieces, vintage items and collectible objects.

    The term is sometimes conventionally restricted to the remains of ancient art, such as sculptures, gems, medals, seals, &c. In a most limited sense it applies only to Greek and Roman art, and includes neither the artistic remains of other ancient nations nor any product of classical art of a later date than the fall of the western empire.

    For an item doesnt have to be that old to get correct classification and history all play part in establishing the value of an item doesnt have to get correct though an item.

    The item over 50yrs vintage is better if you can name style of particular decade it is better if you can name style.
    The item was made antique is harder to define as it represents style that people recognise.

    An item is an understood line between antiques and collectibles in the universal common understanding is 75 years is.
