Africa and Beyond, San Diego

Africa and Beyond is a treasure of a store tucked inside the quaint La Jolla Cove shops and offering what may be one of the finest collections of African art on the west coast. It is a store not just for collectors but for everyone who fancies unusual and delightful art work ranging from whimsical to traditional, from exceedingly reasonably priced carvings and rugs to true masterpieces worthy of display in the most discriminating household. Run with great passion by its long term proprietors Ian and Julie, its a spot to linger in as well as relax, as everywhere you turn you will find something splendid to behold curated by their discerning eyes on their frequent buying trips to the continent. It truly is a delightful experience and one not to be missed if ever in the La Jolla area, especially if you are in need of that truly special gift.

A beautiful gallery with wonderful, authentic pieces.
