In popular use, heirloom is something, perhaps an antique or some kind of jewelry, which has been passed down from generation to generation through family members.
The term is derived from the historical principle of an heirloom in English law, a chattel which with eternal use is perceived to be annexed by the inheritance of the family. Loom initially means tool. Such pure treasures were almost unknown in the early twentieth century.

History of English law
In the English legal system, any original heirloom owner can throw it away during his lifetime, but he can not inherit it from the property. If the owner dies, he goes to his heir, and if he designs the land it goes to the devisee. The word then obtains a secondary meaning, applied to furniture, drawings, etc., given to the trustee for holding the person to that time for the ownership of the designated house. Such things are more accurately called fixed handles. Since January 1, 1997, no more land can be completed and the rest of pre-existing settlements have diminishing interest in British law.
Heritage in the strict sense is made by family custom, not by settlement. The paid item may be sold under the direction of the court, and the money arising under the sale is capital money. The court will only impose sanctions on such sales, if it can be shown that it is for the benefit of all interested parties and if the proposed article for sale is unique or historical. The court has noticed the purpose of the settlements and the wishes of the remaining people.
