A Seychellois Definition of Antique

Many might know that the Seychelles have been populated since the end of the 18th century. And craftsmen built some beautiful furniture in those days. Not much of it is around anymore (and the few items that are, are firmly in the hands of the families who originally commissioned them), so I was really excited to see an ad on Seybay boldly entitled "Antique Furniture". Fingers trembling with excitement, I clicked on the advertisement.


Some excerpts from the rather long ad (emphasis is mine):

"The entire set which dates back to the year 1980 is a classic example of the kind of contemporary furniture that our new breed of Seychellois carpenters can produce. It demonstrates the artisanal craftsmanship of modern Seychellois carpentry which has retained some charming features of the traditional creole furniture like is evident in the carved ‘twist turned’ legs of the easy chairs and the sofa."
(In other words, the usual ugly and uncomfortable stuff that is on the market these days.)

"The prospective buyer will certainly be the lucky owner of a valuable and precious set of almost fin de siècle and 21st century creole furniture that has already known over a decade of history."

Hmm... I was born in 1962. Am I fin de siècle or would I be considered antediluvian?
