The Story Behind the African and Oceanic Art Collection
Welcome to our world of authentic African and Oceanic art. This collection is a life’s work, inherited from my mother, who passionately collected from the 1980s, and her partner, who began his journey in the 1960s. Their dedication to finding genuine works of art has created a unique collection, which we now share with you.
A Collection Built Through Generations
My mother’s partner built an impressive network locally in various places throughout Africa. He personally travelled and brought back a significant portion of the collection, selected by local contacts who understood the depth and importance of the art form. These personal connections ensure that each object has a story and is a testament to a rich cultural heritage. This webshop was created to continue this legacy and sell the collection, either in larger lots or individually, to new passionate owners.
Authenticity and Unique Quality
What makes African and Oceanic Art special is the unsurpassed quality and authenticity of each item. We guarantee that there are no tourist souvenirs in our selection. Everything is authentic, carefully chosen for its cultural significance and craftsmanship. A significant part of the collection is even quite old, adding an extra layer of history and value. We are proud to present art that speaks to the soul and carries centuries of tradition with it.
