Bidspirit auction | A collection of Israeli stamps

A collection of Israeli stamps in a fancy case that includes a spectacular collection of replicas of Israeli stamps in silver and gold plating. 25 sterling silver replicas, 925 gilt published by the Israel Postal Authority and the Israel Museum. The weight of the silver is about 660 grams. The stamps are housed in a box that was specially designed for the collection and is made of the Canadian word tree. The environmentally friendly equivalent of teak wood. The box is equipped with an excellent quality lock. From the Israeli stamp treasure, 25 historical stamps have been selected to reflect the people, places and dramatic events that weaved the story of the revival of the Jewish people. These stamps have been faithfully reproduced with three-dimensional gold-plated silver stampings that forever preserve the most significant moments in our nation's history. The result is a rare collection of pieces of history, which are also beautiful works of art - a precious asset for anyone who holds Jewish heritage close to their heart and appreciates the thoughtful craft of stamping. The purpose of this catalog is to tell the story behind the stamps, to describe the events and figures that left their mark on the young country and served as inspiration for the stamp makers. In addition, the catalog includes stamp information and details about the stamp designers, descriptions of religious and archaeological sites and great works of art, and explanations of some of the central symbols and images in Jewish culture. As a whole, the ”Israel Collection” stamps represent the Jewish and Israeli identity and the common memory of the Jewish people. From the men of James Snyder director of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.
