I would say that, in theory at least, that there are only really 2 ages of all things except men. 1) the moment Eru bought the Valar into being 2) Ea! Creation. From then everything, according to the music, was there. Like the elves, and the dwarves, and everything else, it was just waiting for them to wake up.

Sorry how horrible abstraction. Balrogs are Maia btw. And I would supose the oldest non Ainur thing would be whatever it was that Yavanna made first. I would guess it would be something simple like a flower. No sorry not a flower. Hmm like perhaps a sapling. Or maybe a grass.
