Kedem
8 Ramban St, Jerusalem.
Founded in 2008, Kedem specializes in the sale of rare Jewish collectibles: classical Hebrew books, manuscripts and other items related to Jewish and Israeli history and culture. Kedem employs a team of specialists and experts, all passionate about their craft. The company is headquartered in Jerusalem with sales representatives in North America and Europe.
Kedem's specialties include four main areas:
1. Jewish books (Sifre Kodesh), manuscripts and rabbinical letters
2. Items related to Jewish and Israeli history and culture
3. Judaica and Israeliana objects, numismatics and medallions
4. Jewish and Israeli art
Kedem's goals are to offer the public rare and important items of Judaica, and Jewish and Israeli collectibles, produce high-end catalogues based on accurate and precise research, and conduct auctions based on the highest level of credibility, extending courtesy and respect to both buyers and sellers.
Kedem accepts a wide range of material on consignment – from single items to complete collections – for evaluation and future sale. Kedem's experienced staff carefully inspects and evaluates each consigned item and then works closely with the consignor to choose the best path of action, with the mutual goal of achieving the best possible sales result. Kedem's past catalogues are available for browsing on this website, with detailed information on the items and price of sale.
For those clients who prefer to sell their collectibles directly, and not via auction, Kedem can facilitate private treaty sales to suitable buyers. Additionally, Kedem's experts may also assist collectors with locating specific items they desire.
Kedem's clientele comprises private collectors and institutional collections worldwide, including national and university libraries, public and private museums, and archives. Recognizing the dual value of items as both collectibles and investments, Kedem is pleased to offer its extensive expertise to advise customers interested in investing in Jewish collectibles.
The name Kedem denotes in Hebrew the East – symbolizing the cradle of Jewish civilization. Furthermore, the root underlying the word "Kedem" conveys both the ancient past as well as progress towards the future. In accordance with its vision, Kedem continues to cultivate a passionate attitude to Jewish cultural heritage, while also looking ahead to the future.
