Antique/Vintage is overused -- but have to confess a few times I've written that in a description title -- mostly if I couldn't pin point the date of creation but had narrowed it down to 80 years plus or minus. But do think it is overused. It is the "excellent vintage" that I've learned to recognize as a possible fudging of condition as Messi stated.
