Why is Antique Dinner Silverware So Collectible?

July 11th, 2009 filed under Collecting Things, The Historians Way

What is lovelier than a beautifully appointed table complete with antique dinner table silver? Those with a deep appreciation of antique dinner silver know it provides the perfect compliment to delicate china and crystal for formal occasions. Owners of heirloom silver treasure the memories that accompany their sterling forks, knives, spoons and serving spoons. Artisans who created these pieces may be long gone; but, the product of their skills and talents have been enjoyed by generations. The graceful designs chosen for dinner silver patterns are noticeably intricate or elegantly understated. Family and guests accustomed to using genuine silver respect the weight of each piece they use for their meals. French, Italian and British antique silver offer varied pattern design that reflect the style of their cultures. British silver is less ornate than Italian or French. Where Italian silver patterns may be intricate, French patterns display a quaint provincial appeal.

Why Silver?

Formerly, a tradeoff of elegance for convenience punctuated most modern households for dinnerware and utensils. Nor, is a “utensil” a good substitute for “silver” on a formal table. Nothing matches the gleam and exquisite taste of silver. In the past, using genuine silver on a regular basis had a chief purpose. Silver was considered healthier than stainless tableware for regular use. Silver is a natural element whereas stainless is not. However, the down side of silver is that it requires regular polishing to maintain its bright gleam. When the pace of a household grew too hectic, this was one tradition that was sacrificed for convenience. Presently, however, there are many silver cleaners that take far less time to complete this procedure. Thus, it comes down to a matter of choice: convenience or elegance. Elegance is key to a successful formal dining experience, which is why silver service is a necessity.

Thousands of Failures, but Thousands of Patents

June 11th, 2008 filed under The Historians Way

Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before he revolutionized the world by inventing and patenting the incandescent light bulb. Because of his desire to create the incandescent light, he was one of the most persistent people in history. The invention in which Edison had the most failures, the incandescent light, was one of his most famous inventions. His persistence also led to many other great inventions. He had patents on items such as electricity, batteries, cement, motion pictures, phonographs, mining, telegraphs and telephones.

How many times have you failed in your endeavors? When you were learning how to ride a bike, roller skate, play the piano, learn a foreign language, etc., didn’t you fail many times?

Many modern conveniences are the result of Edison’s ingenuity. Edison did amazing things simply by persevering.

1. Edison was persistent

After fifty years of efforts to create a long-lasting incandescent light bulb, Edison achieved success with the incandescent light bulb. Edison needed a material that would be compatible to form a long-lasting filament. He initially tried platinum, which only worked for about one to two hours. He tried carbon, which had the highest melting point. When carbon didn’t seem to work, Edison tried boron, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, nickel, platinum (again). Finally, Edison got carbon to work as a filament material for his light bulb, which lit for over 40 hours.

What are some of the things that you are doing in your life and careers? Do you like what you are doing for a living? Are there other things that you would like to be doing as a career? You may ask, “what if I try something and it doesn’t work?” Try something else. And if you’re not successful, try again! Reference the example with a baby learning how to walk. How do most people walk? They kept on trying, no matter how long it took, to walk.

2. Edison learned how to meet the unmet need

The classic marketing philosophy says to “fill the unmet need.” Edison invented practical items that a majority of the population could use, such as the light bulb, the phonograph, batteries, etc.

Edison not only could invent things, he could invent practical things. Every one of us has practical skills that we can offer the world. The world needs your talents much like the world needed Edison’s talents. What are some ideas that you have that would meet the unmet need? What are you seeing around you that could be improved? Edison did the same pondering and look at how much he accomplished.

3. Edison knew he could invent something when he was determined

Edison’s quest to invent the incandescent light bulb took him about four years. About his electric light experiments, he said “I was never myself discouraged or inclined to be hopeless of success.” Edison knew that he could find a way to make the light bulb work and to be a practical item for the general public to use.

For those of you involved in obtaining goals, are you determined enough that you are going to succeed? Do you have that attitude of accomplishing something no matter what?

Edison saw thousands of better ways of doing things. He had to literally make many things happen in order to achieve success. Edison did not think that any of his failures were actually “failures.” Edison said “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is just one more step forward….” Do you turn your “mistakes” into learning experiences? Adopt the same attitude as Edison did. Learn from mistakes. Be persistent.
