OUR TEAM

With Patrick’s family still very much at the core of the business, our team is bound not only by kinship, but also by the deep appreciation of antiques’ beauty and character, the decades of expertise and the commitment to work closely together to uphold excellence in every aspect of the trade, the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of the pieces, seamless logistics, and outstanding customer service.
The Patrick Moorhead Antiques team ethos is simple: we live and breathe antiques with sheer enthusiasm, warm approachability, and utmost dedication.
