A magnificent and extensive historical collection of antique definitive postage stamps from the Russian Empire, dating from the late tsarist era and Romanov period (1889–1917).
The top and middle sections showcase a compelling uniform run of tsarist definitive issues, highlighted by highly sought-after high-value denominations including the large-format 1-Ruble (with a wide backing margin), and the premium 5-Ruble deluxe issue featuring the imperial double-headed eagle and crossed postal horns. The layout is excellent for philatelic study, containing two separate horizontal stamp pairs (1-kopeck and 2-kopeck values), a vertical column, and a specialized 20-kopeck copy preserving its wide intact bottom sheet margin. All stamps are in premium unused Mint Hinged (MH) condition with full original character, vibrant classic colors, and no cancellation marks.
