African Art In-Stock
A characteristic of African art are the wonderfully
elegant utilitarian objects such the as a wide variety
of carved headdress wearing couples, walking sticks,
wooden vessels, stools, beds, masks, abstract stone
art, and carved anima ls,
wall frames & plaques.
Each object is designed to satisfy a specific function
but also to provide visual as well as tactile delight.
We feature a fine selection of mahogany,
ebony, & walnut wood African art pieces. As
well as verdite, serpentine, stearite (soapstone
or shona stone).
Traditional African Tribal Art
Traditional African crafts portray the values
and spirituality of the people. African themes and
shapes have been incorporated into their work, making
it a unique and one of a
kind handcrafted artifact. Each item is handmade
out of (usually) one solid piece of rock or hard
wood with simple tools by
very skilled native tribal craftsmen in the primitive
conditions of a remote village. The men concentrate
on wood carving and rock sculpture, whilst the women
have mastered weave-work and pottery.
Africa in Transformation
Africa is changing from a tribal society to a modern
one making more dramatic progress than the world
has ever seen. In Africa, traditional art is becoming
a thing of the past as quickly as the continent
changes. With the disappearance of many traditions
and other aspects of African culture, works of traditional
African art are becoming more and more scarce. Only
a few passionate collectors are able to recognize
if a piece is genuine or fake. Let us be your source
for African art & tribal home decor. |
