The finest objects brought to you by Patrice Sabbah
“My greatest pleasure is to restore and bring to life a rusty blade and to find a treasure beneath the rust. ”
Patrice has been passionate about Japanese swords since the very first time he held one, at the age of 17. He went on to learn the art of polishing these delicate but deadly blades under Laurent Milhau in the 90s. Patrice’s love of Japanese arts only grew, and he travelled to Japan where he perfected his technique by undertaking a number of internships with masters, also learning the art of Kantei. An avid collector with a number of Japanese swords himself, Patrice is also a master restorer of antique Japanese weapons, and specializes in samurai art. He is a registered expert and works with a number of prestigious French auction houses. Patrice loves nothing more than to bring beautiful blades back to pristine condition, and uncovering their heritage by researching hidden signatures. Patrice brought his vast knowledge of Japan to Catawiki in 2020 and loves that he can share his passion and expertise with others all around the world.
