In the House
A few of the works
Each one filmed, certified, and offered once.
A House for Hand-Made Art
Hand-made art, made to be kept.
Limited works by living masters, each one authenticated, appraised, and backed by a certificate that lets it be re-valued and re-sold through the house.

Why Mount Qaf
We sit between the gallery and the auction house, and we stand behind what we sell.
01
Every work is made by a living master, by hand, at a level that cannot be mass-produced. We accept a fraction of the makers we meet. The skill is the first credential.
02
Each piece carries the Mount Qaf Certificate: maker, edition, materials, date, and an appraised value. It proves the hand and makes the work re-sellable. The certificate is the asset.
03
A Mount Qaf piece can return. Collectors re-sell through the house; we re-value as a maker’s standing grows. Ownership is a chapter, not the end of the story.
The Standard
A work enters the house only when it meets the Standard. That scarcity of acceptance is what gives the certificate its weight, and what protects every collector who trusts it.
Made by one maker, by hand. Skill a machine cannot reproduce.
An original work or a genuinely original series, never a reproduction.
A numbered, limited run. When it is gone, it does not return as new.
Documented, authenticated, and appraised, then sealed with the certificate.
In the House
Each one filmed, certified, and offered once.
The Certificate & The Return
The certificate authenticates the work, records its worth, and gives the piece a way home.
1
A maker and work are accepted against the Standard. Most are declined.
2
Authenticated and given an appraised value: maker, edition, materials, date.
3
You own the work; the certificate is your portable proof of the hand and its worth.
4
As a maker's standing grows, the house may re-appraise. Value can move up or down.
5
When you choose, a piece can return to be re-sold at its appraised value, for a transparent fee.
Request a Private Viewing
Join a small circle of collectors. You'll meet each maker, see new works first, and be able to enquire before they are offered publicly.
No noise. One message when a work worth your time enters the house.
