[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Original art, furniture of many different vintages tastefully assembled (never any matching sets and some things more well-worn than others), extremely high quality rugs (again, possibly some more worn and some newer) are the things I can think of that distinguish old money and new money.

Realize I'm taking this in a slightly different direction, but where do you buy extremely high quality Persian rugs? [/quote]

DP. Unfortunately, it’s best if you inherited all this stuff. A few years ago there was a stupid spat in Britain where one politician (or was he a tastemaker?) accused another of buying his own antiques, the horror.

That said, every family has to start somewhere, so why don’t you be the one and just let people assume you inherited it all. Just do a lot of research on what makes a “good” oriental rug (natural fibers and dyes, not brand new, traditional colors, and learn to recognize the fakes). Even the best rug stores carry some cheesy rugs because they do sell.  [/quote]
