time-honored

adjective more time-honored · most time-honored · time-honoured

US Honored because of great age, or long usage. It would have been a great privilege to be the mistress of an old time-honoured mansion, to call oaks and elms her own, to know that acres of gardens were submitted to her caprices, to look at herds of cows and oxen, and be aware that they lowed on her own pastures.
