My niche in the African and tribal art world is selling quality, authentic and sometimes unusual mid-range objects at affordbale prices. 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 Adan, 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 gold dust 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. I can also search for objects you seek, through my network overseas or in my inventory.

Quantity discounts given, special deals for regular buyers and discounts for referrals. Interested in buying authentic objects from collectors and collections.

Finally, I usually have items for sale on Ebay as well (Yes, I admit it !). Please see "le_blanc" under Antiques\Ethnographic\African.
