Yeah I hate that too, it does look fake and tacky. Real antiques have character about them, but these modern pieces are completely soul-less frauds.
I don't really mind if something is an antique really though, like it doesn't have to be old, just as long as it's hand-made in the same traditional way that things were made back then, and not just mass-produced in a factory with modern parts. It's especially egregious if imitation plastic is used instead of traditional materials like wood or metal.
Those inspirational faux antiques actually make me angry
