I am sorry for posting a query again as I may not have explained it correctly.
I have come across a replica print of the portrait of a lady, pe falconet ( see attached print). At the back of the print/ frame, it has a label saying By permission of the Edward gallery.
Searching the Internet, the exact print is in the connoisseur xxxv published in 1913 magazine.
Can anyone please tell me if it is classified as antique and has any value...

In America most things have to be 100 years old to be considered an antique, which you miss by one year. :'(

Not now...it used to be 100 years...but its closer to 50/70 years over here for furniture, ornaments...in fact almost everything...except auto,s...where its only 25 years....to be classed as vintage requires a minimum of 7 years.....therefore your item at 99 years more than qualifies it to be called an antique.....when i was 5 my gran was only 49 and i thought she was an antique... ;D

Technicalities aside,,, i think this would qualify !! Value would be determined by interest in the work !! More are interested,, greater the value !! Just look and see if you can find if print sold somewhere !! Although that is not a sure sign that it would bring that amount again !!
