We’re bringing fine art to the crypto world.  No NFTs, no tokenisation. We're pioneering a new standard: the RFT (the Real Fkin Thing). But let’s rewind a couple weeks. My brother Zef and I (@sentido_sol) are in Dubai for the holidays. It's turned into an end-of-year tradition where the rest of the family flies out from London to visit. Over brunch, we chat about how each of our years have gone. Zef had spent most of it working in the Curatorial team at Pallant House Gallery, after finishing his Master's at Sotheby's the year before. I had spent it within the startup space on Solana. He begins to tell me of pieces he's sold this year to private collectors, but the truth is, I'm not really listening. My mind was distracted. There was something here. An opportunity to bring the world of the arts to the world of crypto. The idea came to mind: fall in love with a piece, send stables, and we'll handle the rest. I’d witnessed the legends @watchking69 and @BrenzGarage do similar, cornering the crypto-native markets for watches and cars respectively. 'Let's cater exclusively to crypto people' I blurted out. He shot me a look, replying, 'the same people who paid $500k for the ape pictures?' Wasn't our finest moment 😄, I thought to myself. But behind the light-hearted jibe, he saw the vision as I did. As I finished up writing this tweet, I was thinking about what truly separates fine art from the likes of watches or cars. A text popped up from Zef. 'Art has superseded empires, generations, economy and war. Once you realise that, you can never look at it the same again.' Welcome to Cedar & Spring. We source art that you love, and deliver it to your doorstep. First piece drops next week.
