The Sembach Galleries of contemporary and African art, located in St Francis Bay and Hout Bay, South Africa. Now introduce their new website, initially for artifacts and later old ethnic jewellery, paintings and sculpture.

We have selected figures, doors, masks, musical instruments, headrests and recent new additions from different tribes of Africa. As far north as Mali, through West and Central Africa to Zimbabwe and South Africa.

These traditional people throughout Africa have made the same basic traditional style for generations. Each piece either very old or from the 20th century, carefully produced to determine its own individual direction; giving unique symbolic and spiritual significance to the life of one of these tribes, a visual language, a visual communication.

It certainly isn't necessary to fully understand African artifacts to appreciate and enjoy them. All you have to do is look and they hold you for ever. So powerful, full of intrigue and extremely beautiful.

Sembach Galleries have given to the public over twelve years of a vast variety of exhibitions, one man shows and collections. From displays of delicate ethnic jewellery to displays of tons of massive Shona sculpture and from objects of tin to gold. Sembach have acquired an excellent reputation for quality and expertise in the field of contemporary and African art. Always offering selective pieces from a diverse range of cultures to the general public and collectors.

We will always help if we can to locate artifacts we do not have in stock, or identify items for you, through our email address: - sembachart@telkomsa.net

Thank you
