Why is condition important for antique items and what it tells us about the authenticity of an object?

The more optimal its condition, the more valuable an antique will likely be. If an item is perfectly uniform with no color, this is likely indicative that it is a modern mass-produced reproduction and thus, less valuable. When 1stDibs vets an item, we look for item condition and patina to determine if an item shows signs of age.
