About the Item

Rare African Bronzed Tikar Throne with Stool, Handcrafted Tribal piece from Cameroon This stunning and intricate bronzed throne with matching stool is an authentic example of Tikar tribal craftsmanship from Cameroon, West Africa. It's an eye-catching piece, full of detail it is ideal for collectors of African tribal art, interior decorators, or anyone looking for a truly unique statement piece to add to their interior. The throne is entirely made using the traditional techniques, which means every piece like this is completely unique. It features multiple figures of men, women, and a central chief / king like figure, supporting the seat and surrounding the throne. Every figure is individually detailed, with expressive postures and careful texturing, making this a highly detailed seat and art piece. The included stool mirrors the same craftsmanship and is also decorated with small figures and traditional Tikar motifs. Background on Tikar Thrones These thrones are made by the Tikar people of Cameroon, and traditionally they were reserved for royalty, specifically chiefs or kings as a symbol of power, wealth, and divine authority. The figures that support and adorn the throne typically represent ancestors, warriors, or subjects, emphasizing the chief’s role as both a protector and a link to the spirit world. The use of bronzed and the lost-wax method speaks to a long-standing metalworking tradition that blends artistic finesse with cultural significance. These pieces are becoming increasingly rare and sought after, especially in this kind of complete condition with the accompanying stool. Similar examples have been exhibited in galleries and museums dedicated to African tribal art and are prized by collectors for their cultural richness and visual impact.
