Previously, this meant a year’s harvest, but today describes almost everything archaic and classical including furniture, cars, clothing, computers, musical instruments and collectibles. So vintage is a kind of style direction and its primary definition is “old, recognized and enduring interest, importance or quality.” Vintage is usually associated with quality of aging, i.e., when something is improved over time.
