Shipping:

• Subsidized U.S. FedEx Ground shipping: $45

• Smaller pieces are shipped via FedEx Ground in a secure box, with careful packaging to ensure safe delivery. To make fine art shipping more affordable, we subsidize part of the cost.

• Each shipment includes a declared value, requiring a signature upon delivery for added security.

• International Shipping: We ship around the world! Our website cannot process automatic international shipping rates. Please contact us directly for custom shipping quotes outside the continental U.S.A., (including Hawaii and Alaska).

• The Myth of Free Shipping: Free shipping often means the cost is hidden in the product price, a common tactic that can mislead buyers.

About Decorative African Art:

Hemingway Gallery carefully selects pieces from artists and collectors whose work aligns with our historical and aesthetic standards. This includes newly created artworks that are actively used in ceremonies, which we deeply value despite their lack of age or antiquity. We recognize these as authentic expressions of artistic and cultural heritage, rather than mere tourist trade items.

Our collection also features works by skilled artisans who create fine art inspired by historic styles, as well as contemporary African pieces that may not fit traditional perceptions of ‘African’ art. We celebrate the evolving aesthetics of the continent, striving to showcase design that moves beyond the conventional ‘tribal’ label, reflecting the innovation and creativity of emerging artists.

Our Pricing:

Our pricing is directly aligned with the asking prices set by artists in Zimbabwe and the costs of importing their artwork to the U.S. It’s time to challenge the misconception that African artists’ work should be undervalued. Supporting our artists by ensuring they are paid fairly for their fine art is our top priority, and our pricing reflects this commitment.
