Antiquarian An antiquarian or antiquary:

Is one concerned with antiquities or things of the past. Also, and most often in
modern usage, an antiquarian is a person who deals with or collects rare and
ancient "antiquarian books". More narrowly, the term is often used for those who
studied history with special attention to "antiques", meaning ancient objects of
art or science as physical traces of the past.

Antiquarianism is usually considered to have emerged in the 16th century; by the
19th century it had become transformed and bifurcated into the academic
disciplines of archaeology and philology.

The Society of Antiquaries of London was formed in the 18th century to promote the
study of antiquities.

An antique mapAn antique (Latin: antiquus; old) is an old collectible item.

It is collected or desirable because of its age, rarity, condition, utility, or
other unique features. It is an object that represents a previous era in human
society.

Antiques are usually objects which show some degree of craftsmanship, or a certain
attention to design such as a desk or the early automobile. They are bought at
antique shops, or passed down as an estate. Some valuable antiques can be bought
from antique dealers and auction services or purchased online through websites and
online auctions such as eBay.
