Coup de Foudre, LLC™ began business in 1978 as a 'brick & mortar' retail bookshop with a side business specializing in antiquarian books.
As the rare book department prospered we dropped the new book end of the business to concentrate on rarities sold from our open shop and book fairs. -
Buddhist Art
High Ritual & Tribal
Since 1998 Coup de Foudre, LLC™ has become a premier purveyor of antique Buddhist art from Mongolia, Tibet, China, India, and Southeast Asia. We travel to Europe and Asia, as well as around the United States, to find the finest materials available!

Tribal Art
Authentic
In 1992, as the quality and availability of truly rare science and medical books began to disappear from the trade and move to the auction house, we opened a Tribal Art Department using our student anthropological experience in East Africa as a base.

Welcome!

Since that time we have increasingly re-directed our business into the purchase and sale of antique Buddhist and authentic tribal art. Please take a look!
