The word medieval, when it is not modified by a name of a place or nation, refers to the European Middle Ages, which are usually dated as the time from 476 to 1453 AD. When it is modified by a name, it refers to an analogous time in the history of the place named.

The word antique merely means old. In the case of most objects such as furniture or art, it can technically mean at least 100 years old, or it can refer to an object of special value from any earlier time. It can have other, specific, meanings; in the United States, it is used to indicate a firearm was manufactured before 1898, or that a car is more than 20 years old.

Either word could be used metaphorically to mean old fashioned or out of date.
