Jaime Ortiz-Patiño comes from a dynasty of renowned collectors. He is the grandson of Bolivian “Tin-king”, Simon I Patiño whose love of art inspired his children. His father, Jorge Ortiz Linares was the Bolivian ambassador to France after World War II and began the collection of rare books and manuscripts. His mother, Graziella Patiño, formed an exquisite collection of French eighteenth-century decorative arts. His brother, George Ortiz, is a fanatical and highly knowledgeable collector of antiquities whose collection was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1993.Brought up in France, Mr Ortiz-Patiño has a European’s understanding and appreciation of the decorative arts. “I have always lived with beautiful things”, he explained. “One of my earliest memories is being told not to rock on a dining-room chair because it was eighteenth-century and the legs would snap.” As my parents collected French silver, I decided I would collect English. De Lamerie appealed to me because it was in the style of contemporary French silver, plain and not too overladen with decoration. For someone whose eye had been educated by French silver it was of comparable quality.” (English)
