Story

AFRICA UNDER ONE ROOF

At African Trading Port, we've brought the entire continent of Africa under one roof. Our journey began in 1978 with the establishment of an art workshop in Zimbabwe, and since 2001, we've been proudly housed in the historic Old Port Captain's Building at Cape Town's iconic V&A Waterfront.

OUR COLLECTION

We offer artwork and crafts from practically every African country and culture. From traditional masks and sculptures to contemporary pieces, handwoven baskets to intricate beadwork, our collection celebrates the rich diversity of African artistry and craftsmanship.

Our extensive range includes:

  • Traditional African sculptures and figures
  • Hand-carved wooden furniture and decorative pieces
  • Authentic tribal masks from across the continent
  • Kisii stone carvings from Kenya
  • Handwoven baskets and textiles
  • Bronze sculptures and ornaments
  • African-inspired apparel and accessories
  • Unique curios and collectibles

OUR HERITAGE

With roots dating back over four decades, we've built relationships with artisans and craftspeople throughout Africa. Each piece in our collection tells a story—of tradition, skill, and the vibrant cultures that created them.
