I do not want people to get confused when one scrolls down the 20th century silver articles that are in this section. You will notice that there are some articles that are marked antique and others are not. For a piece to be considered antique, the general rule is that the article must be over 100 years old. Therefore, silver items that were made before 1920 would be classified as an antique. Any silver items that were made after this time is not considered an antique at this time.
