Where is that coming from?
I don't see any definitions that constrains antique to a specific time window, some definitions/laws include "at least 100 years old"
Antique: a work of art, piece of furniture, or decorative object made at an earlier period and according to various customs laws at least 100 years ago

- pkamb 8y agoThey meant that antique means "only" 19th century in this case because that's when the spire was installed. It's not as antique as the rest of the cathedral.
