From what I've seen in the Antique category, I would say that it could use some clearing out. While I've nothing against decorative items adorning anyone's home, I don't think that they should be offered for sale in the antiques category unless they are antique. I use the 100 year age as recognized by customs as a defining point as many avid collectors do.
Decorative items may be better served by a Home Decor sub-category in Home & Garden or many could be listed in collectibles under the sub-category that is appropriate even if one needs to be requested.
