fake antiques
Fraudulent old items
Fake antiques are objects made or altered to appear older and more valuable than they are.
The deception ranges from deliberate forgery—artificially aging furniture, fabricating provenance—to optimistic misattribution by sellers who don't look too closely.
The shop was full of fake antiques and overpriced reproductions.
The antiques trade has always attracted fakers, since age and rarity command premium prices.
