Announcement
I have had a passion for collecting all things beautiful and unique my entire life and would like to share some of these items with others having a similar interest. I have representative items from the American Southwest, Asia, Middle East, Central and South America, East Africa and Nagaland in North Eastern India. I strive to offer the best items that I have collected or can find for sale to both the casual and/or discriminating collector of unique cultural items from each of these areas of the world. I also try to focus on vintage, prehistoric, and historic items if I can find them. My interest is in pottery, textiles, art, bronze sculptures, and extraordinary pieces of adornment. Sales are via the internet only. Our business address is 5765 F Burke Centre Parkway, Burke, VA, 22015.
If you like western art, I have the largest collector of Ron Stewart art in the world and am his East Coast Gallery. You will find some of his earliest paintings to some of his most recent ones that have not been shown in public. For those of you who like Ron Stewart and his western art, you might be interested in viewing a recently completed video biography of Ron's life at https://vimeo.com/135487381. As noted above, you can check out the largest collection of his art in the US, here at culturalpatina.
In addition, I have the second largest collection of authentic Naga Indian Art in the US. It is all authentic, meaning that it was made by the Naga and used in their cultural ceremonies. The majority of the items shown were collected prior to 1982, when the Naga converted to Christianity and are museum quality.
Culturalpatina also represents 3 of the finest Western Bronze artists in the United States to include James P. Regimbal, Jeff Wolf and Lincoln Fox. Collectively we have some of the largest collections of their work in the US for the beginner to the most sophisticated collectors of this venue. He also represents a number of Native American Artists as well, that focus on some of the finest traditional and contemporary pottery and weaving.
In addition, if you see something that you really want, but think the price is to much, please give me a call at 703-503-8019 and we can discuss it. I am always open to suggestions.

5 out of 5 starsI am running out out places to display this beautiful pottery that I have purchasd from Dennis. I really like this last piece, a Zia bowl, because it is vintage. I trust Dennis to do right by me with every purchase. The bowl came quickly and was perfectly packaged, never any damage. Surely I will find a place for another piece! Thank you, Dennis.

5 out of 5 starsI have spent much time traveling and also living in New Mexico where I was surrounded by Native American pottery. CulturalPatina is a place I trust I am purchasing quality pieces. My latest purchased is stunning. The colored waves on the black Ortiz pot swirl from subtle taupe to soft grey. The pottery is solidly packaged, never any damage. Thank you again Dennis. I certainly will purchase from you in the near future.

5 out of 5 starsFor me, a stunning addition to my collection of pottery. This time I choose to purchase a Asian piece from Myanmar..it is unique. Dennis provided all of the necessary information on the piece ,which is essential to collecting any type or price of art. Shipping and packaging is incredible. Cultural Patina and the owner are outstanding. Likely, I would not have found this shop if it was not for Etsy. Thank you Dennis.

5 out of 5 starsI have purchased several pieces from Dennis. Every piece comes with background information about the pottery, which is priceless when one is acquiring any type of art, large or small. Dennis provides incredible service in that he packs these pieces with care...nothing is going to be damaged in route. The Santa Domingo piece is a great addition to my growing collection. Cultural Patina is outstanding and so is Dennis' service.
