Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Benin Bronzes valuable to collectors today?

The Benin Bronzes are not just decorative, they’re royal historical records and spiritual artifacts, created using the ancient lost-wax casting technique. Today, they hold cultural, artistic, and investment value, making them prized by collectors, institutions, and legacy builders alike.

Are these bronzes authentic or replicas?

All featured works are created by master bronze casters in Benin City, Nigeria - many descended from the original royal guilds. Each piece includes a provenance report and certificate of authenticity. Some works reinterpret historic forms; others are contemporary expressions using traditional methods.

What is the price range for acquiring a Benin Bronze?

Prices begin at $10,000 and range up to $50,000+, depending on scale, weight, and rarity. Each piece is a limited edition or one-of-one, available through private consultation only.

Can I commission a custom bronze work?
