Antique, vintage, and the difference

Antique technically means a century old; vintage means from a prized era; 'vintage-style' means new. Dealers use the words loosely and chains abuse them. What matters: age, condition, and whether it's the real thing. Learn your periods — paying Georgian prices for 1980s revival is the classic beginner's error.

Cache Creek sits about 51° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter is prime antiquing season: estate clearances peak, the shops are full of fresh stock, and there's nothing better than a slow browse on a grey afternoon.

When Cache Creek's shops do get mapped, ask each dealer their specialty. The lean matters more than the size.

Antique smarts for Cache Creek

No mapped antique shops yet, but the hunting skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Ask about delivery. Many dealers deliver locally or know someone who does. Don't let logistics kill a good find.
• Ask about provenance. Where did it come from? The story matters for value and for your own enjoyment. Good dealers document it.
• Ask about the shop's specialty. Every dealer leans somewhere: furniture, silver, books, textiles. Find the lean that matches your interest.
• Bring measurements. That sideboard is useless if it won't fit through your door. Measure the room and the car before you fall in love.
