Old money decor inspiration: Sister Parrish, Mary Randolph Carter, etc. Old money doesn’t throw out their furniture, their fine porcelain china or their linens. They repair, refurbish, recycle to the younger family members.
The small crystal cups are for cider or punch…typically they come with a punch bowl; the tiny wine glasses are for port or a dessert wine, or an aperitif or degestif.
Most of the glass you were looking at were Cut Glass and not Crystal although there were a couple. Old Money is definitely Crystal! I look for it always and it typically much more expensive then cheap Crystal or cut glass.
I think "old" is a relative term in this case. I'm a lot older than you are and none of those items seemed anything other than out of date and mostly worthless. Old money meant they had it for generations , appreciated quality and things that lasted. They did not like flashy stuff as that symbolized new money which they really looked down upon.
It’s funny- for the dishes, the more colourful ones would be older and the more sedate ones would be more modern. In the Victorian era, more flowery dishes were the norm. Great finds!
I gravitate towards this style sort of coupled with Old Academia. I also have to throw in some degree of creepy chic. Old things, old brass or bronze clocks, silverplated champagne urns and platteres, actual vintage lighting, leather chairs and sofas and ornate wood items. And a color palette of sepia tone:, creams, ivory, browns, golds and black. Colors from nature and neutrals.
The hand painted letter box and the sweet little beaded one were perfect finds! And... oh my... those small lamps with the beaded swag fringe were amazing for the old money look. The little tiny crystal stemware are for cordials, a sweet syrupy liqueur. Loved the black ornate table at the end with the gold detail.
The small crystal glasses are used for sherry sometimes. My mother and I always sipped sherry out of small glasses like that when she would visit in the winter….love them. Great memories.
the cut glass cup with the handle is for punch or eggnog at a party, usually comes in a set with a punch bowl and a ladle. The small stemmed glass is called an aperitif glass. for a shot of cointreau or drambuie or framboise.
little cups with handles belong with a punch bowl. They were so popular in the 70s. I still have a set as they are "back" the small stem glasses are for sherry, port or after dinner liquors Oh yes! the vibe! Cheers
Here in the UK, I'm sure that silver items are supposed to have a hallmark. The idea is that you can know whether an item is really made of silver or not. Do you not have hallmarks on silver items in the U.S.?
You're funny! Your idea of old money... Isn't really that old. The little glass cups are for a punch bowl set. The other cut glass pieces you were looking at are pretty and would fit the aesthetic. The lamp shades you were looking at are not old money. They're called pleated lamp shades. Though I do agree with you, they are nice to look at.
Your videos are captivating...as are you. As an Irishman whose family took a lot from the Anglo-Irish tradition, I can tell you the first (handled) cups were for punch. The second were for either sherry or port; they are interchangeable, although more traditional port glasses are 50ml 'thimble' glasses and so are much smaller
So excited to find your channel. I've been telling people for years that I imagine a specific person lives in the house and design around that.

When we go thrifting all the furniture is reflective of the last 15yrs of particleboard and high gloss. Will have to upgrade the adventure, higher a truck and go antiquing in the big city.
I admire your eye for the aesthetic. Thanks for sharing. Cut glass is not the same as crystal, although they appear similar, crystal is a different material. Some of the cut glass you put back was worth decent value to collectors, I was dying as you put it back on the shelf. On the other hand, many of us lack the time, energy, and organizational skills to resell things we find, no matter how valuable they may be. That's where my ADHD kicks my butt.
Loved your outro with the other video suggestions haha, great to see your personality come out like that. I bet you're missing the DI now! East Coast thrift stores are such a treasure trove, I haven't been to one in a long time but I remember there always being so much from past decades. Great idea doing a thrift review without actually buying anything, I hadn't considered that before but it made for some darn good content
The small cups could go with what used to be luncheon sets. There would be a plate and a round ridged area, where the cup would sit. It could also be from a punch set, possibly. The small, stemmed glasses are sometimes referred to as cordial glasses and can be used for after dinner drinks that are meant to be sipped and are smaller amount vs a glass of wine. If an item is sterling silver, it will have a mark. It's likely much of what you were seeing was silver plate. Still nice but not as valuable.
The small glasses are (among other things) “cordial / liqueur ” glasses for sipping. I have several vintage glasses that we use for sipping any liqueur, whisky, tequila, chartreuse, you name it.
Nice shopping. Your glass if a punch bowl one which should match a big bowl and others. Smaller one is for liqueur but nowadays they can be used however you wish. With silver & dishes check the back for the Hallmark (symbol/writing). It will tell you what they are. Sometimes good silver is very heavy as it has a copper base underneath. Often now sometimes left unpolished if someone likes that look. Enjoy your goodies.
Small cups are for punch which I know because my mom got a whole set at a yard sale and they gave them to her in an old box that opened from the bottom as I was taking it to the car... They had a gravel driveway and they didn't survive my clumsiness 😂😢
Bem, aqui no Brasil as xícaras pequenas são usadas para café, as pequenas taças são usadas para licor. As louças antigas geralmente têm uma pintura à ouro ou prata nas bordas e são bastante rebuscadas em estampas florais pequenas. Se quiser encontrar estas peças tem que procurar em antiquários reconhecidos e abalizados para comprar algumas relíquias e elas não costumam ser baratas. Acho melhor você pesquisar muito bem antes de adquirir alguma. Para os "old money" o importante é ter uma peça de qualidade, antiga, que traga história e sofisticação para a sua casa e não simplesmente encher a casa de móveis somente pela estética. Pelo contrário, isso se chama estética "nouveau riche" (novo rico).
The heavy glasses are lead crystal. This IS old money, but not a smart purchase as lead is dangerous. The other glassware was just that - glass, pressed glass, cut glass. It's pretty but not much value. You should have purchased the red letter holder - that was a good find.
Learn how to read markings on back of silver. It will tell you if it is sterling or silver plate. You saw punch glasses and the small cups were for cordials.
I think my mom had that [gold] clock on top our tv for years. Don't know how much it cost, tho. I prefer the dark globe, but they are little and won't fill that empty corner the drawing room...

gorgeous hair! I'm so glad you aren't wearing a cap in this video
Small cups with handles would be for punch, the small stemmed glasses would be for sherry.
That's absolutely right. 🙂
Hi. Did not think about punch... I guess it changes depending on the country customs😊
You could also use the small stemmed glasses for port.
Yes, I have my mother's crystal punch bowl and tiny mugs from the early 70's.
Or eggnog at Christmas.
Old money 😂. This is all stuff I had in the 80s and then donated to Goodwill. We didn’t have any money.

I'm older and I've known this style as Classical or Traditional..

For Old Money style, I think that antique shops would likely be easier to find things, sometimes they can be more expensive, but not always!
It’s a pleated lampshade!

The clear cups that you found are actually punch bowl cups. They are paired with a large punch bowl for gatherings and parties.

8:32 Real silver tarnishes and has to be polished to remove it. It most definitely fits into the Old Money category.😊
@@IamMae72 oooo yay!!!
For a peek into how Old Money really looks, google Princess Anne's Living Room.

The small glasses are sherry glasses and the glass cups are for punch usually comes with a punch bowl
Can’t believe how many of the things you found I currently own or used to own! 😂
Punch glasses for the ones with the handles and liqueur glasses for the other ones.
You really don’t know what old money looks like. Forget an aesthetic and just get what you need or find personally beautiful.

The 3rd clock at 2:12 is a lladro clock worth 60-75 dollars .
Anything that is sterling silver will say sterling on the bottom.
@@elizabethwitte6417 nooooo I didn’t check 😭
The small cups would be part of a punch bowl set.
Ohhhh haha
Carefull thinking that only highly ornamental things are old money.
The small glasses are (among other things) “cordial / liqueur ” glasses for sipping. I have several vintage glasses that we use for sipping any liqueur, whisky, tequila, chartreuse, you name it.
The little punch cups would have gone with a large punch bowl....
I say the same thing every time, but I so wish we had the same kind of thrift stores over here in southern Portugal! x
Check the apps I mentioned!!
Very few of these items resembled old money. It was just old. lol Fun though. I love thrift stores

They are punch mugs. They usually match the punch bowl.
The small crystal cups are punch cups. The crystal flutes are for champagne.

Which Goodwill where you shop? There’s no good Goodwill in las vegas where I live in
I just toured museums decor collections. China both dinnerware and statues, Silver, elegant furniture, wood, crystal and bronze. Paintings.
The little cups are punch cups!
