What I have gathered from the brochure:
The company's name on the brochure is Mamade Sillah &
Sons Ltd. The New York Representative is Saku Sillah who I assume is one of
his seven sons. The company Mamadee Berety Sillah and Sons LTD was established
in 1948 by Elhadge Mamadee Sillah in Liberia. They claim that some of their
important clients include Richard Nixon and Nelson Rockefeller. Apparently
Rockefeller's purchases ended up at the Primitive Art Museum of NY. There is
not a date on the brochure, but the majority of the museum's purchases from
them are from the 1970s.
Any information about this company would be very helpful.
