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.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife sits about 28° 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 Santa Cruz de Tenerife's shops do get mapped, ask each dealer their specialty. The lean matters more than the size.

Antique smarts for Santa Cruz de Tenerife

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

• Learn to spot married pieces. Furniture assembled from mismatched parts — 'married' — is worth far less. Check that everything matches in age and style.
• Check the back and underside. Construction tells the truth: dovetails, screws, saw marks. Flip it over (carefully) before you decide.
• Learn wood identification. Mahogany versus stained pine is a value chasm. A basic grasp of woods saves expensive mistakes.
• Ask about provenance. Where did it come from? The story matters for value and for your own enjoyment. Good dealers document it.

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.
