[Grammar] antiques?

[Crowned 91]

Hello!

"Furniture pieces which are a hundred years old are antiques, but older items may be regarded as antiques as well."

In this sentence can the noun antiques beused or should I use the adjective antique?

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

The noun is fine.

Shouldn't it say "newer" items may be regarded as antiques as well?

You're right. "Older" does not make sense there. I am sorry.

OD, it might be better to let moderators decide things like this for themselves.
