Philaclassica AG

Company history and performance profile

Philaclassica AG was founded in 1985 by company owner Martin Eichele. After completing his law studies, Martin Eichele initially worked for the renowned auction house Christie's in Switzerland. Thanks to his outstanding expertise in numerous stamp collecting areas, he was soon able to take over the commercial representation of Christie's in Germany and Switzerland. In 1991, together with Walter Kruschel, he conducted the special auction "German Colonies" from the legendary Romanov Collection in Berlin.

Over the years, Martin Eichele has built one of the world's largest specialist philatelic libraries. It's therefore not surprising that many collectors, dealers, and auction houses rely on his expert advice. Martin Eichele has also served as a juror at international events and trade fairs for many years. He also continues his family tradition and, as a great connoisseur and collector, maintains an outstanding private collection in the third generation.
