Story Services for Cherished Objects

It's like Antiques Roadshow meets Etsy—uncover the history, meaning, and beauty of the pieces you treasure.

Every object carries a history. Whether it's a family heirloom, a vintage find, or a curious antique, we help you discover and preserve its story. Our services combine research, design, and storytelling to bring your cherished pieces to life.

Item Research

We research the dating, maker, materials, and origins of your piece. Perfect for understanding what you have and its place in history. Delivered as a detailed research summary.

Stylized Story Reports

Beyond research, we create beautifully designed, illustrated histories—complete with archival context, photography, and visual storytelling. Like a mini book about your object.

🎬

Story Videos

Short, cinematic videos that tell your object's story through visuals, narration, and music. Perfect for sharing with family or preserving as part of your legacy.

How It Works

Share photos and details of your piece with us. We'll conduct thorough research into its history, craftsmanship, and provenance. Then we deliver your custom story in the format you choose—research report, illustrated history, or cinematic video.

Have a question about a piece’s history, or looking for a specific piece to complete your collection? We’re here to help.

At Patina & Prose we are as passionate about the stories behind our objects as we are about the objects themselves. Whether you need more details on a Murano vessel's provenance, more photos of a handcrafted textile, or just want to share a memory a certain piece sparked—we’d love to hear from you.
