TRIBAL ART

VIEW THE COLLECTION

I started out as a tribal art dealer, long before I ventured into antiques and interiors. There is something about tribal art that seems to remind us of a way of life long forgotten, a primitive side to our past and heritage that somehow feels familiar. Perhaps this is why tribal art has found its way into our homes and collections for hundreds of years, not just because of their beauty and decorative appeal, but because deep down these pieces connect us to our on past.
