Our Story

Preserving Iconic Moments in History Since 1813

The Leipzig name is born of history itself. In October 1813, the fields around Leipzig, Saxony, witnessed the epic Battle of the Nations — the largest European conflict before the First World War, where over 600,000 soldiers clashed and Napoleon was defeated for the first time.

In the aftermath of this historic turning point, a local family with an unyielding passion for history established a trading post near the battlefield. They began acquiring and exchanging relics of the war, laying the foundations for what would become one of the world’s oldest and most respected purveyors of rare and authentic treasures.

For over 200 years, Leipzig Galleries has carried forward this legacy — meticulously sourcing, authenticating, and preserving remarkable autographs, manuscripts, artefacts, and sporting memorabilia. From rare historical documents to modern cultural icons, each piece we offer is selected with the same discernment that has defined our heritage for generations.

From those humble beginnings, Leipzig Galleries has evolved into an exclusive destination for collectors worldwide, now showcased at Harrods, the world’s most prestigious luxury department store. Whether your passion lies in history, sport, cinema, music, or the pursuit of rare investment-grade collectibles, our promise remains the same: to present an expertly curated collection of pieces worthy of your collection — and your legacy.
