National Cherish An Antique Day
Learn the history behind your treasured antique on #NationalCherishAnAntiqueDay
9 April is National Cherish An Antique Day. It is observed annually.
Do you have something special that was passed down to from your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents? Today is the perfect opportunity to learn the story – and history – behind your treasured antique.
Antiques are often cherished because of their personal, emotional and sentimental connections. Often colourful stories of how they came into the family’s possession surround these items, which makes them so much more valuable as an heirloom.
National Cherish An Antique Day also recognises the quality and uniqueness of the items that were made by hand, rather than by machine.
To celebrate today, give your antiques some attention and use #NationalCherishAnAntiqueDay to post on social media.
