Discover the specialized vocabulary of the world of second-hand goods and
antiques
- The jargon of a profession
There can be no dictionary of the antique dealer’s trade. A trivial language spoken by all social classes, unusual, accompanied by stylistic effects and sources borrowed from other dictionaries or processes of forming substitute codes. A colorful, very diverse and highly volatile vocabulary, which evolves with the removal of objects from their original function, fashion and techniques, while remaining anchored in tradition, nothing exhaustive.
