Statement About "Trading": Obviously my objective as a dealer is to sell tribal art first and foremost. That said I do trade now and again. Keep in mind I will almost never trade an Oceanic piece for an African piece. The easiest way to trade with me is if you have a desirable Polynesian object. I'm also open to trading tribal art for modern and vintage auto-loading rifles (Styer, Stoner, HK, Barrett, POF, Colt, Armalite, Sig Sauer, FNH, Springfield, Rockriver, etc.)
If you're unsure what you have we'll tell you. Highest prices paid. Confidential, friendly professional service. We will travel anywhere to buy. Transactions involving a few pieces can usually be completed by sending photos.
