A MASTERPIECE
The Patania Family
Native Silversmiths
Frank Patania's father, Frank Patania Sr. arrived in northern New Mexico
about the same time that my grandfather, Arthur Pack, arrived. Through
the years our families have taken root in and been shaped by the
southwest - and we have become and remained friends for three generations.
So it is with great pleasure that we are announcing
a collaboration that will allow us to represent Frank Jr. and Sam's work,
along with occasional heirloom pieces
by Frank Patania, Sr. (July 4 1899 - 1964). --Mark
