Do you want to sell a piece of African art as quickly as possible?

Then allow shikra to sell the piece for you at one of our regular eBay auctions.

Maximum publicity

By means of our bilingual descriptions of the piece (see "selling your art”) you will have immediate access to a worldwide market of African art lovers.

First steps:

Simply send us an e-mail including a short description of the piece (no more than 75 words) plus information regarding country, ethnic group, the artist if known, material, size, weight (important for calculating the postage) and if possible age and provenance. In addition we require at least one photo so that we can get an initial impression of the piece.

It would also be helpful if you could decide which eBay services you require.
