My name is De Waele Danny, I started collecting African art from Congo in 1985.
I live in Belgium and as you surely know Congo was a Belgian colonie until 1960.Very soon it became a real passion taking most of my time.
Many tribal objects from Congo found there way to Belgium through missionaries,schools,Belgians working in Congo,etc...
I'm interested in all tribal objects from Congo:statues,masks,etnographic objects,combs,textiles,baskets,musical instruments,jewels,ivory,books,old postcards and last but not least shields and arms...
There are hundreds of different tribes in Congo,all with different styles what makes that after 20 years I still find things I have never seen before....
On my site I will offer arms,statues, masks,etnographic objects, tribal photographs,textiles,paintings by Bogaert Frank,etc. It's my aim to offer objects in all price ranges to make it possible for anyone to start a collection.
All the items I offer are genuine and tribally used. I each time give my professional opinion on age. I'm open to any question you might have prior to buying!!!
I'm mentioned in the thankword in many of the books on tribal arms from the last years."de fer et de fierté","Guba 1 and 2",etc...
Take a look at my gallery and add me to your favorites as I will offer many things in the coming months/years....you won't regret it.
