An
article in the Financial Times 'Hard cash underpins the spirit of
independence' by Tim Harford, April 24, 2010, concluded that
entrepreneurs learn by example and they profit from social connections.
This
prompted me to look back over the lives of prominent interior designers
and artists for evidence to support this theory.The case is borne out
by the life and work of Louis Comfort Tiffany. cheap tiffany earrings
His father, Charles Lewis Tiffany, together with John B Young, a fellow
townsman, whose sister Charles Tiffany subsequently married, opened a
"stationery and fancy goods" store with a $1000 advance from Charles
Tiffany's father. $1000 was a lot of money in 1837. The shop they opened
was to become Tiffany and Co in the 1850s .www.buyshoesclothing.cn By
1870 Tiffany and Co would be the leading supplier of jewellery, watches
and clocks as well as tableware and Bohemian glass.
Charles
Tiffany was not only backed financially by his father but from an early
age worked in his father's general store and mill.cheap tiffany necklaces
His father had a cotton manufacturing business. Louis Comfort Tiffany
benefitted from the experience, social connections and capital built up
by his father and grandfather.Charles Tiffany and Thomas Edison together
created footlights for the theatre and investigated other ways of
lighting theatres.www.shoes-bags-china.ru Louis Comfort Tiffany would
himself join forces with Steele MacKaye (a school friend and theatre
impresario) and Thomas Edison to work on the Lyceum Theatre in New York.
Edison himself helped install some of the lighting in this theatre. His
school friends collaborated on projects with him.
Many of Tiffany & Co's clients would have been prominent and wealthy members of society including Vanderbilts,cheap tiffany and co australia
Astors, Whitneys and Havemeyers. In 1882 Louis Comfort Tiffany
decorated some of the rooms at the White House in Washington. He also
decorated Henry O. Havemeyer's new home in New York,www.sportsyy.ru a
project completed in 1892. Havemeyer was an American Entrepreneur who
founded the American Sugar Refining Company in 1891.
Access to
capital, an appreciation of the glass imported by his father and his
father's involvement with Edison were undoubtedly key factors in his
development of glass lamps first fuel lamps and then electric.cheap tiffany and co jewellery
His early experiments would have been costly but he had access to a
wealthy client database.www.tradingspring.cn He undoubtedly had
opportunities and social connections not available to everyone. There
was a certain amount of luck too. He was around at a time when electric
lighting would take over from the oil lamp.
Louis Comfort
Tiffany learnt by example from his father, who had learnt from the
example of his father and he was able to capitalise on his father's
social connections. This is not to say that he didn't have the interest,
drive and ambition but rather to put his success into context of his
wealthy background and his access to a wealthy clientele, a clientele
who would undoubtedly have had every motivation to please his father.
