👉 Subantiqueness refers to a type of antiques that are considered less valuable or inferior to those of earlier periods. These items may be more fragile, have less intricate details, or lack certain characteristics that are characteristic of their time period. For example, an antique chandelier from the 15th century might be considered subantiqueness because it is not as intricately detailed and has fewer decorations than a similar item from the 14th or 13th centuries.
