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.

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

Antique smarts for Santo Domingo

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

• Don't refinish good pieces. Stripping an original finish can destroy most of the value. When in doubt, clean gently and leave it alone.
• Learn to spot married pieces. Furniture assembled from mismatched parts — 'married' — is worth far less. Check that everything matches in age and style.
• Check auction results. A quick search of recent auction prices tells you what things actually sell for — not what dealers ask.
• Ask the dealer to teach you. Dealers who love their stock love talking about it. An hour of questions is a free education.
