Antique Items

An antique item is considered collectible due to its age, condition, and rarity.
It is usually identified as a handcrafted item, easily recognizable for the attention to detail.
These antique objects are often inherited from distant relatives or, if you have a passion for antiques, there are antique dealers (like us) ready to offer you the best pieces.
An item is defined as antique if it dates back around 150 years.
 

What are these antique items?

1. 800 silver tray
2. Metal tray
3. Porcelain cups
4. Porcelain coffee cups
5. Antique ceramic vases
6. Vintage table clock
7. Colored glass tumblers
8. Art objects

All of these antique items are collected because they are unique pieces, individually produced, passed down through centuries and carrying with them the charm of having been crafted by artisans' hands.
They were created before mass production and consumerism, with meticulous attention to detail, and designed to stand the test of time.

Antique ceramics and porcelain

What falls under this category?
Well, anything that looks remotely like an antique teapot, vintage coffee pot, hand-painted cups, or ceramic vases — we at Di Mano in Mano have it!
All these antique objects are home décor elements you can't go without.
What truly defines your interior décor is the presence (or absence) of antique ceramics and porcelain, considered some of the most precious handmade items you can own.
Original pieces are often recognized by the artisan's signature, engraved after kiln firing.

Antique silverware

Silver cutlery and antique utensils are often passed down from grandparents or received as wedding gifts.
In the past, silverware was seen as something valuable, to be passed on to future generations and displayed to show one's wealth.
In the 1400s, silverware production increased, with innovations like silver trays, coffee cup sets, ceramic plates, ceramic vases, and everything that could decorate your home.
Silver items are easily identifiable by the hallmark stamped on the silverware.
Silver trays, and all items classified as antique silverware, can be dated based on their weight.
During times of wealth, silver items were heavier — more raw material was used because people could afford it.
During times of crisis, only the bare minimum of silver was used, resulting in lightweight and hollow silverware.
