Handmade crafts from Asia and Africa with new, vintage and antique collections
Naturally Crafted offers a varied collection of antiques and handcrafted products from Asia and Africa. Each unique item is hand selected and bespoke. The collection includes Asian antiques, antique African artifacts, tribal masks, sculptures, textiles with a good range of handloom shawls, stoles and scarves.
Our company cooperates with artisans, private collectors, and regional traders. All objects are obtained through ethical channels. Customers receive genuine handcrafted items and the antiques are not reproductions.
Range of Items and Their Origins
The store selection covers artifacts used for domestic and religious purposes and made from durable materials such as wood and metals. Our African artifacts represent local traditions, belief systems, and social status. The tribal artifacts for sale category includes smaller objects such as masks, baskets and carvings from various ethnic groups. Naturally Crafted has a small collection of handwoven textiles from across Asia showing the skill of traditional weaving. Our selection features pieces crafted from premium wool, cotton, and silk, with some shawls being hand-dyed using natural pigments. Using ancient techniques on traditional wooden looms, often working with hand spun yarns, weavers create intricate designs that have been passed down through generations. This preservation of ancient craftsmanship results in textiles that have cultural significance to a specific country, region, or village. Naturally Crafted has a limited selection of unique, bespoke shawls, some of which are sourced from remote villages, and communities.

Why Antiques Are Worth Buying
Antiques provide historical and educational value. Each object shows the social and economic structure of its time. Studying materials and craftsmanship helps identify how people lived, traded, and communicated. Collectors and historians use these objects to understand trade routes, migration patterns, and local beliefs.
Owning an antique supports cultural preservation. When artifacts are kept in good condition, they maintain knowledge about early technologies and designs that no longer exist in modern production. For example, many Asian antiques include metal sculptures made with manual alloy mixing and mold casting, techniques that are rarely used today. African wood carvings often display patterns linked to clan identity and status within a community. These details can only be studied through authentic physical objects.
From an investment perspective, antiques can retain or increase in value and limited availability means they are often in demand among collectors.
How to Buy and Care for Antiques
Naturally Crafted’s website presents clear photographs, sizes, and background details for every product. Customers can select and order directly online. Each item on line includes information about historical use. Orders are securely packaged and tracked for safe delivery.
Wooden artifacts should be kept in dry indoor environments. Metal objects need occasional dust removal with a soft cloth. Textiles should be stored away from sunlight and cleaned only by professionals. Proper handling preserves surface detail and structural integrity.
