Who We Are - Our Heritage, Your Future
Stanley Gibbons is world-renowned
as the leading name and global market leader in stamp collecting, rare
stamps and other heritage collectibles. In essence, what we don't know
about rare stamps probably isn't worth knowing.
Established in 1856 by Edward
Stanley Gibbons, we were awarded the Royal Warrant in 1914 by King
George V for services to philately. It's an honour that we still hold
proudly today by continuing to serve the Royal household. It requires us
to trade annually with them and provide a level of consistent quality,
integrity and expertise in order to be re-awarded the Warrant.
What that means for you is that
you can rely on over 150 years experience and skill in appraising,
buying, describing and selling stamps.
In today's uncertain times and
ever-changing world, trust, security and expertise cannot be
underestimated and they are fundamentally important when looking after
you and your wealth.
When it comes to investing with
us, to be clear, we are not a 'financial business' or 'investment house'
- we are, if you like, the expert 'stock pickers' for rare stamps, rare
coins and rare manuscripts. We pick only the best and the genuine and
only the ones that we believe will maintain and increase in value over
time due to their rarity, desirability and condition.
