Aged

Or venerable, antique, mature, ancient, well-worn, used; and ( exclusively of people and animals) geriatric, elderly, senile (which, contrary to popular belief does not mean confused, demented, or gaga. In medicine the word is synonymous with late-onset, eg. senile cataract; senile Diabetes; etc.).
