I believe collecting authentic, antique African and tribal art should not be reserved for only those with "deep pockets." As I have low overhead, select wisely and bargain hard, I am able to sell objects of good value to collectors at reasonable prices. While I specialize in Fon and Ewe vodun objects, and power and twin figures, my selection also includes a wide variety of wooden, iron and textile art objects from the Adangbe, Ashanti, Baule, Eket, Fanti, Ibibio, Ibo, Lobi, Moba, Mossi, Nok, Tchamba, Yoruba and other West African ethnic groups. Additionally, I sell occasional objects from other regions of the world as well as Africana and utilitarian pieces such as clothing, stools and chairs, hair dresser plaques, old paper currency and spoons.

Unlike some dealers of African art, I have lived in West Africa for over ten years. I make annual buying trips and have extensive supplier networks in the subregion. Please email me for additional photos of objects on display and from my extensive inventory. I can also search for objects you seek.

Quantity discounts given, special deals for repeat buyers, discounts for referrals and selling arrangements sought. Also interested in buying African and tribal art objects from collectors and collections.

Also: Feel free to make me a decent but serious offer and ... I usually have items up for sale on Ebay (Yes, I admit it !). Please see "Le Blanc" under Antiques\Ethnographic\African).
