Vintage Tanzania For Sale on 1stDibs

Find the exact vintage tanzania you’re shopping for in the variety available on 1stDibs. You can easily find an example made in the contemporary style, while we also have 8 contemporary versions to choose from as well. Adding a vintage tanzania to a room that is mostly decorated in warm neutral tones can yield a welcome change — find a piece on 1stDibs that incorporates elements of black, gray, brown, gold and more. There have been many interesting vintage tanzania examples over the years, but those made by Hideoki Hagiwara, Lyle Ashton Harris, Suzanne Benton, Jean Poulain and George Chaplin are often thought to be among the most thought-provoking. These artworks were handmade with extraordinary care, with artists most often working in silver gelatin print, paper and paint. A large vintage tanzania can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller vintage tanzania, measuring 9.75 high and 7 wide, may better suit your needs.

How Much is a Vintage Tanzania?

The average selling price for a vintage tanzania we offer is $7,500, while they’re typically $653 on the low end and $88,000 for the highest priced.
