So this is my first try at the antique look, let me know what you think

A great subject and looks good as a mono. Might want to try a little more sepia tinting to emphasise that look

I agree about the sepia. That is a great subject for shooting but you have done a rather flat, straight on shot. There must be many better angles and compositions - worth a return visit?

i quite like it but im not usre if it looks antique, may be as the others have said a better angle and more sepia might help. perhaps also a little more grain

Yup, all as above. It doesn't look like an old photo, more a simple black and white shot. It needs more tint to make it sepia. The photo taken from two steps to the right and angled towards the door would give the whole shot a more interesting feel. It's a cracking subject and is well worth persevering with to get this right. Did you take any others from different angles Dehno?

Cheers,
Rob
