Welcome to Patina Collection, where timeless treasures meets modern living.
For over 12 years, Patina Collection has been a trusted destination for antique enthusiasts, collectors, and those seeking unique, one-of-a-kind pieces with a story to tell. With locations in the heart of Old Town Chicago, 3rd Street South Shopping District and Chesterdales Home and Garden in Naples, Florida, we bring a world of history and character to your home.
At the helm of Patina Collection, our founder Karen Abell, is a passionate curator with an unmatched eye for beauty and authenticity. Karen divides her time between Chicago, Naples, and the picturesque landscapes of Tuscany, where she draws inspiration for her collections. Her love for antiques began as a personal journey, driven by a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship, history, and soul that each piece embodies. Today, her vision continues to shape the Patina Collection experience, making it a haven for those who cherish the elegance of the past.
Every item at Patina Collection is hand-selected by Karen, reflecting her unique perspective and dedication to quality. Whether you’re browsing our carefully curated furniture, exquisite décor, or rare finds, each piece carries a special character that sets it apart. Our goal is to help you create spaces that feel personal, warm, and filled with stories worth sharing.
We invite you to visit us in Chicago or Naples and discover the beauty of antiques that transcend time. At Patina Collection, we believe that every piece has a story—and we can’t wait to help you find yours.
My motto for interior design: create a space YOU would love to live in. Simply choose what feels right to you, and don’t be afraid to experiment. If something doesn’t work out, consider it a learning experience—maybe even open a booth at your local consignment shop! You never know where that journey might take you.
