Aste Bolaffi

Aste Bolaffi is a Bolaffi Group company that holds auctions of collectors' items.

The auction house was established in the early Nineties, but the connection between the name Bolaffi and the world of collecting is far older and spans more than a century of history. It all began in 1890, when a young Alberto Bolaffi Sr., perceptive of the cultural shifts and collector trends of the time, opened a philatelic business in Turin. This marked the beginning of an entrepreneurial journey that continues today with the fourth generation at the helm. Auctions were a natural evolution of that commercial enterprise: initially focused exclusively on philately, they expanded between the late 1990s and early 2000s to include numismatics and vintage posters, quickly becoming a benchmark in the national market.

Today, more than 130 years later, Aste Bolaffi examines, advises, and sells with the same passion and attention to detail that defined it from the outset, enriched by an international outlook, solid expertise built over decades of study and prestigious sales, an eye for trends in all areas of collecting, and the use of the latest digital technology.
