Definition: A grotesque representation of a figure; a gargoyle.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition is a little… misleading, isn’t it? A “grotesque representation” and a "gargoyle" – those sound quite spooky, don't they? Let’s clear up this confusion. “Antiques,” my dears, has a very specific meaning you see. Antiques are old things, treasures from history! They've stood the test of time, for all to agree. Think furniture grand, or porcelain fine, Objects of beauty, truly divine. We’re talking about items that have been around for a long while – usually over 100 years you see! They often hold stories and memories from the past. A gargoyle is an antique—a sculpted figure placed on buildings, often fantastical and decorative—but it's not all antiques are. So remember, “antiques” means old and valuable, with a story to tell. Do you understand? Now, who can give me an example of something that would be considered an antique? Let’s hear your ideas!
