What is an antique?
Antiques show or demonstrate a certain rarity in them, which could be the time from when they came or the craftsmanship involved or just a little attention to the intricate details.

What is Antiquing?
Antiquing is the art and act of shopping, categorizing, negotiating, and bargaining for antiques. Most people buy antique items mainly for personal use or for gifting purposes, but when it comes to antiquing, people trace elements from various sources; sources that can't even be imagined. It's the satisfaction of getting something so rare and priceless that takes their quest to the next level.

Although antiquing is primarily known as a process of shopping for old items, sometimes, it is also known as the art of making the pieces look more like antiques, which is an art by itself.

Turning an ordinary item into an item that looks like an antique involves a lot of work like shaping the object and painting the piece to look old. This is often done to make quick money as people get confused between the original one and the fake one. This is one of the major threats to the antique industry as a whole.
