What is the difference between antique and vintage?
Antiques are generally at least 100 years old, while vintage pieces are younger items from an earlier era. At Curate, we bring both together with an eye for beauty, craftsmanship, and character.
Are your pieces new or previously owned?
Our collection focuses on antique and vintage finds. These pieces have lived previous lives, so signs of age and use are part of their character. We note known imperfections in product descriptions and encourage you to review the photographs.
How do you identify the maker or age of a piece?
We look at maker’s marks, labels, materials, construction, and reference sources. When a maker, origin, or date cannot be confirmed, we describe the piece using the information available and indicate when an attribution is uncertain.

Do antiques work in a modern home?
Absolutely. A vintage lamp, antique chest, or original painting can add warmth and individuality to a contemporary space. Mixing eras is a wonderful way to create a home that feels collected and personal.
