Often antique and vintage art often reflects the social, political and cultural context of the era in which it was created. Think of them like time capsules that give insight into worldviews, styles and techniques - like a link to another time. Many artworks showcase artistic techniques that have been lost over time that cannot be found in todays mass-produced modern prints. This brings character and soul to a space.
Their rarity and uniqueness also make these pieces of art part of a limited legacy making them rare or irreplaceable. Unlike modern digital art these pieces have patina, wear, or brushwork that makes them feel more alive and storied.
