HOW to grow your collection of authentic African Art and enjoy genuine pieces ... ALL THE PIECES YOU SEE ON THIS SITE HAVE BEEN SELECTED BY DAVID NORDEN ON AGE, BEAUTY and AUTHENTICITY

Dear friend,

My name is David Norden, and I am a full time dealer and expert in African Art. I started dealing in African Art in 1992, previously I was a professional photographer, but my mother was a collector of African Art and my father and grand father both Antique dealers,. First I studied photography and became a professional photographer, but the struggle in that field was to high with many photographers ready to work for nearly nothing, so I changed and became an African Art antique dealer as my father and grand father who also where dealing in antiques. Since I was a photographer I had some advantage, and in 1998 I started my first African Art website, first as a catalogue of my objects for sale, but I also started several archive sites on African Art exhibitions, fairs, auction events etc....

In the beginning 1990's it was not easy to start with African Art... Many fakes on the market, the prices in that time where low , you certainly need some experience to collect and select genuine African Art, and people need to trust your expertise. I was selling fine items from 250€ up to 2500€ and had some very dark periods. In 20 years many things changed, today pieces sell for a tenfold, usually between 1,500€ and 25,000€. But in auctions you see many pieces selling above 100,000€ and the maximum prices that African Art pieces sell for are up to six million euros.

I want you to collect genuine African Art, not worthless decorative objects.

On this site you can make your choice of fine African Antiques coming from known collections or selected for there old age and/or tribal use. But I always try to give my customers value for money.

When you buy from us you get:

free delivery worldwide
two weeks money back guarantee
six months exchange guarantee, no questions asked.
A complete description report of the object

We advise great collections, museums and other dealers since 1992.

First I grew among African Art, my mother who was also a sculptor collected it and learned me to recognize the beauty and good carvings, and my father was an Antique dealer (as my grand-father) also was, learned me how to spot fakes, the various techniques used by forgers and how to spot them. Also important is seeing thousands of objects both good ones in museums, auctions, and at other dealers with a good reputation and lesser good ones from runners, and garage sales , online auctions, etc.. this experience only comes with the years passing by, as grows your reputation.

That's why I'm going to offer you an unusual
guarantee, and here it is:

Our 100 % money back Guarantee and free delivery !

Finding genuine African Art is not so easy, the market is flooded with not so good items, and you really need to buy from dealers who you know, like and trust what they are speaking about, or from auctions with good experts to select the pieces.

In the African Art Club I give more independent advice about this to my clients and friends, but on this site you'll see the objects, masks and statues from David Norden's collection that are available for sale.
