About the artist

China Tibet

China

After years in European antiques, Marisa Patrone developed a passion for ancient Eastern art, focusing on China, Tibet, and Mongolia. Her collection, China Tibet, specializes in antique furniture and objects from these regions, capturing the essence of lost atmospheres with the vibrant reds and blacks of Chinese lacquers. Located in Genoa, a city tied to Marco Polo’s travels, the store offers a unique selection from the spiritual Tibet to the steppes of Mongolia, Korea, and Japan. The collection, ranging from ceramics to silk curtains, is a dynamic mix for both casual enthusiasts and serious collectors, each item rich in history and tradition.
