A varied collection of brightly colored and contrasting stamps is visible, including shades of orange, red, blue, green, purple, brown, and gray. Several motifs are clearly recognizable: iconic architectural monuments (pyramids, mosques, citadels), national symbols such as the eagle, agricultural scenes, stylized portraits, floral elements (notably red flowers and a rose), as well as graphic compositions and inscriptions in Arabic and English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome stamps bear the mention \"EGYPT\" or \"UAR\" (United Arab Republic), and several display the word \"OFFICIAL\". Visible face values vary (e.g., 1m, 5m, 10m, 20m, 50m, 70m, 100m), with rectangular or square formats. Several stamps feature circular or linear cancellations, while others appear uncanceled and in good visual condition. The illustrations highlight history, architectural heritage, daily life scenes, and ornamental motifs typical of 20th-century Egyptian philately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe presentation on a black background emphasizes the diversity of designs and colors, offering a representative overview of Egyptian philatelic production over several decades. Some stamps show precise details, such as inscriptions in Arabic characters, representations of famous sites, or official symbols. The variety of themes also includes references to exhibitions, national or international events, and stylized agricultural or floral motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lot includes both canceled stamps (with visible cancellation marks) and apparently mint stamps (without cancellation marks), allowing observation of different series and issues. The general visual condition appears good, without tears or obvious missing parts on the visible faces, although some stamps show slight traces of use or handling on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.

This era gave rise to specific philatelic issues, often sought after for the diversity of their historical and cultural motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour order will be carefully prepared, shipped quickly, and protected by appropriate packaging, in compliance with AFW professional standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeywords: Egypt stamps, Egyptian philately, UAR postage stamps, canceled and mint, philatelic lot, Egypt monument stamps, Arabic stamps, Egypt flower stamps, official stamps lot, Egypt postage, world stamps lot\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54314229301575,"sku":"51101-4c958378-c977-4160-a28c-8a554e9cc9a8-PA0.38","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/5152\/8775\/files\/s-l1600_ae016702-fe27-43ee-93f3-52e6eb6526d5.jpg?v=1783568676","url":"https:\/\/shop.antiquefranceworldwide.com\/en\/products\/lot-timbres-egypte-obliteres-et-neufs-philatelie-motifs-historiques","provider":"AFW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
