Handbury Tribal Art

I am based in Shrewsbury in the beautiful county of Shropshire. I have been dealing in Tribal Art since leaving university, with my passion beginning long before; when my father used to allow me to handle pieces as a child.

As a third generation antiques dealer, I have always been surrounded by items with a story to tell. From the beginning Tribal Art has drawn me in and led me to explore the cultures from which the pieces originate.

My interest in artefacts resulted in me studying Archaeology at the University of Bristol. On completing my degree I worked for a number of renowned auction houses and galleries in the UK and overseas. I have since been dealing privately, for a number of years, meeting many like-minded dealers, collectors and enthusiasts.

I find the aesthetic quality and the tactile nature of Tribal Art to be the perfect combination. The journey of discovery, when researching a piece and the culture that created it, drives me to continue to collect and sell.
