THE SPERATI SALE
It is with great pleasure we present a sale dedicated to the works of
master forger Jean de Sperati. In a class of his own, for more than 50
years he created some of the most skilled forgeries seen in philately.
His works are well-documented in the British Philatelic Association’s “The
Work of Jean de Sperati” published in 1955 and in Robson Lowe’s & Dr. Carl
Walske’s “The Work of Jean de Sperati II” published by the The Royal
Philatelic Society in 2001. The second work, usually referred to as
“Sperati II”, shed the light on about 100 previously unknown forgeries .
Dr. Carl Walske FRPSL dedicated much time and effort to gather a remarkable
holding of Sperati’s forgeries and considering the additional discoveries
the most complete such holding ever assembled. Well-known philatelist and
stamp dealer Richard Frajola acquired the holding in 2019, expanded it
significantly and created a beautifully presented collection on exhibition
pages. This collection can still be viewed on Frajola’s website:
sperati.org. The collection was subsequently sold at auction in Germany in
2020.
Our sale includes Sperati forgeries from various countries that were
included in the second published work “Sperati II”. Some of these are quite
rare and only a handful are known to exist. These are identified in the
sale as “ex Walske”. Further we are offering all the France forgeries from
the exhibition collection that was mounted by Richard Frajola. Apart from
being obviously France, these are identified as “ex. Walske/Frajola”.
NO BUYER’S PREMIUM! FREE SHIPPING TO US BUYERS!
For our buyers outside of the the US, we also offer a shipping incentive if
purchases exceed $1,000.00 and fits into a USPS medium flat rate box..
