Patrick Mavros

Know the business

The useful overview.

The house’s family account names Patrick and Catja Mavros and their four sons: Alexander, Forbes, Patrick Jnr and Benjamin. It describes jewelry, sculptural objects and commissions. The brand name should not be read as proof that Patrick personally designed or made every piece.[1]

UK sales terms identify African Luxury Ltd, company 08619583. Companies House lists it as active, incorporated in 2013. This verifies a UK selling entity, not the entire international house’s corporate structure or a US seller.[4][5]

The house says its pieces are handmade in studios in Zimbabwe and Mauritius.[7]

A cataloged elephant miniature combines a sterling-silver sculpture with a Zimbabwean dark-wood base. The distinction matters: overall dimensions and weight do not measure silver content alone.[8]

Sotheby’s documented a pair of elephant-and-tree candelabra attributed to Patrick Mavros, Zimbabwe, 1999. This is evidence of a particular historical work, not proof of current stock or a rising resale market.[9]

Names & chapters

How the story developed.

1. 1977 / 1978

   The origin date differs

   The US story dates Patrick’s first earrings for Catja to 1977; the South African story says 1978. Neither date is presented here as a verified incorporation date.[2][3]

2. 1980 / 1987

   First elephant dates differ too

   The US story places the first silver elephant in 1980; the South African timeline says 1987. The discrepancy remains unresolved.[2][3]

3. 1983

   Early Zimbabwe studio

   Both house timelines date the first studio to 1983.[2][3]

Its registered controller is Alexandros Karolos Mavros, with 75% or more of shares and voting rights. The register does not establish ownership of all Mavros businesses worldwide.[6]
