Jessica Fairbrother is a direct importer of European antiques, specializing in French and Italian artifacts, specifically religious relics including crosses, statues, Madonnas and, of course, anything displaying the Sacred Heart. Her namesake also refers to the way in which she hand-selects each piece.
“I look for things with meaning ... things that touch my heart, things that stop me in my tracks. I have to fall a little bit in love with it.”
“I look for things with meaning,” Jessica says, “things that touch my heart, things that stop me in my tracks. I have to fall a little bit in love with it.”
Over the years she has learned to trust her intuition and trust the process.
“I never know for whom I’m buying it, but my things always seem to find where they are meant to be.”
Here are a few pieces Jessica will offer exclusively at Market Hill at Sacred Heart Antiques.
Fairbrother is serious about the search for heavenly objects. Her love of treasure hunting takes her to Europe several months each year, looking for special pieces that whisper of tradition, faith and beauty. Jessica believes our lives are enriched when our surroundings echo meaning, as well as beauty and harmony. She layers rare antiques and artifacts with a touch of whimsy and humor.
“I love the conversation between objects. The interaction never needs to grow old, just add a new find, and move things around. If you collect things you love, they always work together!”
