Patricia is concidered one of the foremost religious artifact's broker's in the USA,often supplying, what you have seen..now see on the internet..given unprecedented access, by the church, Patricia developed in 96 incorporating Religious artifact's into her 2 stores..and larger church antiquities, such as "vesting cases","refectory table's","large 5-9 ft statues",..and many marble peice's..in her "annex"..Although Patricia's stores were "too" successful, her management of only certified,history line,and identifable religious peice's,*could* enter her store,Patricia was a constant with "learning" from 2 of her mentor's "ken and moses",whom between them had well over 40 years of research..in Religious artifacts..
Many people in this country, have credited Patricia with the "main stream" internet inclusion of Religious artifacts..were in the past..the church's would have just thrown away..her expertise,and research ,and her vast selling not only leading to 2 store's, 4 whse's, and 2 internet sites, Patricia was also, creating new idea's for the use of these beautiful antiquities, and artifacts..incorporating into the home..residential,added to that t.v., movie, commercials, and music video's..she developed a very very nationally respected broker of religious artifact's.
Patricia was the first to list in web form, site. and international Religous artifact's website,inclusive with the broker/sales..for the church,Patricia in 1999 was asked to go internationally, with other denominations, from many country's.Patricia's 2 stores, 4 whse's,and website, allowed her to be extremely "picky" on intake,closing her stores monday to friday..her quality standards extremely high..always hating the term "as is"..it was a "no no" in any aspect of her broker/sale's business's..
Patricia continued working with her favorite experts/vendor's..always learning..and giving her the time to only choose what was the quality and price points,that her customer/cliente became accustomed to..Patricia then was able to unlist the phone number of the store,was featured in over 90 different article's/mag's internationally,and then a must was starting a crating company, developing a specialized crating system,individually for each peice....zero zero zero shipping damage in over..7 year's..

  1. Can I send you photos of an antique/vintage brass Christian cross that I have been unable to identify what all the writing on it says or the scenes depicted. It is a family heirloom that I would love to know more about. Thanks. Kathy
