There are so many beautiful examples of modern artwork today, or modern examples of historic arts and crafts, that it can be hard to select a specific type of artwork to narrow your search. Even when you do, finding authentic artwork is still difficult, especially if you are choosing based on a type of culture that you like, since so many popular cultural styles spawn their own copycats.

For example, trade beads can be found in Africa, but unless you are careful about the places that you buy from, you may instead buy jewelry that is made in the style of African beading, but nowhere near the continent where the style was created.

Africa Direct is able to help you combat this problem. We offer African art, jewelry, and a number of other artifacts that were sourced directly from Africa, and almost always from the living artists that were responsible for creating those pieces. Whether you are looking for an African carvin, book, mask, or head dress (just to name a few options), you’ll find something on our online store at www.africadirect.com. We have over 20,000 items, sourced from 100+ places throughout Africa. The best part is that your purchase helps give back to the communities that are working hard to keep this beautiful artwork alive. If you would like to learn more about our firm, see some of the items that we currently have available, or get in touch with us, then visit our website today!
