Things that are made to look old, antique, or otherwise culturally authentic, but are in fact only a handful or years old at the most.

Like the old dinner plate someone tried to sell me in Beijing that they said was from the Tang Dynasty, or the old villages that have become tourist attractions, and are "restored to their original condition" but this time with a Dairy Queen.
