Originality over volume
We are building a house for original physical artworks, with public listings reviewed before publication.
Our name, our purpose
A home for
African art.
Ikhaya means “home” in isiZulu and isiXhosa. Pronounced approximately ee-KHAH-yah.
Ikhaya Art House is a home for African art. We bring original art into homes and create a place where artists and art lovers belong.
What guides us
Fewer works.
Deeper attention.
Trust in every exchange
Clear records, considered moderation and plain-language policies must be in place before live transactions begin.
Artists keep the value
Our intended model is 90% of the artwork price to the artist and 10% to the house. Delivery is separate.
Connection stays human
Collector enquiries begin in the house, with personal information handled carefully.

Our proposed commission supports curation, marketplace protection, administration, promotion and collector service. Final seller terms will apply before any work is accepted for sale.
