From L’Isle-Adam, Le Timbre et la Lettre assists you with the appraisal, expert assessment, and purchase of stamps and old letters. A free initial opinion and an appointment prepared according to your collection.
Support from L'Isle-Adam
From L'Isle-Adam, we arrange appointments for collectors in Val-d'Oise and process requests from the Paris region. Before moving albums, please tell us their volume and your starting location.
Our service area notably includes Val-d'Oise and, depending on the collection, Paris and other departments in the Île-de-France region. The distance, availability, and terms of a potential trip are agreed upon before the appointment.
Prepare for your meeting
Contact us before visiting
Reception is by appointment only, 7 days a week between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., subject to availability. The precise address and access details will be communicated to you directly.
Present your project
Whether you wish to keep, sell or pass on a collection, tell us about your plans and attach a few photographs. We will then let you know which items to bring.
We'll consider a visit if necessary
A large or fragile collection may warrant a home appointment. This possibility is considered after the initial exchange; it is not automatic.
Expertise, purchase and advice
We examine stamps from France and around the world, old letters, booklets, blocks, varieties, and specialized sets. Families discovering a collection can also receive assistance.
The house draws on over 40 years of experience. Our initial opinion helps you understand the value of the items; any purchase offer remains non-binding.
Before the appointment: preserve the essentials
Maintain existing classifications, certificates, and annotations. Do not peel stamps off their letters, do not clean items, and do not discard a document because it seems ordinary to you.
Photograph a few overall views and representative pages, then clear close-ups. An initial exchange will determine if a direct examination is necessary.

Each request is evaluated based on location, collection, and availability. We confirm the arrangements with you before any travel.
Is the initial opinion free?
Yes. The conditions for any specific intervention will be clarified in advance.
Do I need to have an inventory already?
No. Photographs and a description of the albums allow for an initial exchange.
