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.

San Luis Potosí sits near the equator. There's no real off-season for antiquing here, so shops restock on the estate cycle — ask dealers when fresh estate stock arrives.

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

Antique smarts for San Luis Potosí

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

• Check the back and underside. Construction tells the truth: dovetails, screws, saw marks. Flip it over (carefully) before you decide.
• Check the smalls. The glass cases of small items — buttons, tools, oddments — reward the patient browser disproportionately.
• Check for completeness. Missing handles, finials, leaves, or lids crater value. Count the parts before you count the cost.
• Learn the marks. Maker's marks, hallmarks, factory stamps — they're the ID cards of antiques. A loupe and a marks guide change everything.

The kind of shop that belongs here

Somewhere you can ask about provenance and get a real answer: an antique dealer. Not a homeware chain — the genuine article.
