I am french. I am 62. After a long career in the banking industry and the finance consulting I have just retired. I have always been interested in antiques, archeology and the ancient world. I had been a collector of roman coins until 1986 but, regretfully, I had to sold my collection. I began to collect african art in 1987 and beads about 9 years ago. I spent 4 years in Ivory Cost, 6 years in Gabon and 9 years in Mauritania where I still have a residence. I continue to buy beads from Africa from time to time but I now try to specialise in ancient beads from various origins. I regularly increase my collection of ancient beads and display it through my new website, Ancient Beads World, for the purpose of sharing my interest in these beads with other collectors. I try to learn more every day and I am always prepared to discuss ancient beads issues and to improve the representation of my beads.I wish a happy and prosperous new year to you all who are so lucky to be members of this wonderful forum.
