I think you have it right!I would think it's because they hope it's a genuine antique and of high value, not a relatively modern reproduction

Even real antiques that have been modified in any way, usually crash in value. Take an antique oil lamp that someone has converted to electric. It's almost worthless after that, even though the glass in the base is antique.
