From my research it depends on the items. It seems 50 years old is the age that most items become antiques.

Universal definitions of antiques consider an item 75 years old with unique features enabling it to be collected as antique.

An antique is defined at something atleast 100 yrs old.

According to many custom laws, an item must be at least 100 years old, but in some areas a 50 year old object may be considered.
