AMAZING GALLERY, STUNNING PIECES

Posted by Tracy Richelle High on 9th Jun 2021

Over the past few years I have purchased nine pieces from this amazing gallery. Joe is a fantastic curator who knows the individual origins of every piece he offers for sale. His love and care for these works is palpable. I feel so blessed that I decided to take the chance to come into the gallery. I have his pieces on display in my dining room, living room, den and front hallway. These will all be passed down through our family, as they truly are heirloom quality. Make sure you don’t miss out on this remarkable place. I have my eyes on other pieces as well, and look forward to make many more purchases over the years.

	A Fine and Rare House Post, Makonde Peoples, Tanzania MAKONDE PURCHASE REVIEW Posted by Dr. George Morris on 24th Jul 2021 Recently I added the exquisite Makonde piece to my African Art Collection. I had interest in this piece for sometime and was delighted that Kwaku of Dafco Gallery gave me the opportunity to obtain it. Over the past 15 years Dafco has been a source of rare, authentic non commercial Artifacts. In addition to providing an array of items Kwaku has played a major role in educating his customers about the cultural context in which these pieces were created and utilized.
	Dogon Kanaga Mask SIMPLY STUNNING! Posted by Tracy Richelle High on 2nd Jun 2021 As the headline states, this piece is simply stunning. I have it on display in my living room and it is a showstopper. Byeond this individual piece, over the years, I have bought many pieces from the gallery, and I have been ecstatic about all of them. The most important part of the experience has been Joe's extensive knowledge about all of the pieces that he offers for sale. His love for the different cultures and regions is palpable. He is also committed to making sure that each piece finds the right home, and that each will be treasured and valued. My experiences here have always been exceptional, and beyond the beauty of any single purchase. All of the pieces in my home are unique, come with a story, will be passed down for generations in my family, and are a true source of cultural pride.
