Brocante
The word "Brocante" is originally a French word and literally means "second-hand" or "flea market." Brocante often refers to products with an old and used appearance, such as an old semi-antique cupboard, table or mirror. Brocante is often old and has a weathered character. Brocante is not old enough to be seen as antiques. Antiques must be at least 50 years old. There are two types of brocante: old and new brocante.

Old brocante market is, as the word suggests, old, used and lived through. The paint is peeling off, cracks are visible or the legs are crooked. This gives the old brocante their characteristic and weathered appearance, which brings a rural atmosphere. This gives brocante a casual and rural atmosphere to the interior, which makes it very popular. These small "flaws" are also a difference with respect to antiques, where this kind of "defects" are not desired and are often repaired.
