Semblat was born in the heart of France, with the passion and vision of its namesake, André Semblat. Semblat's journey started in the mid-20th century when André, a passionate collector himself, saw the opportunity to share his love for vehicles with a wider audience. He started creating handmade miniature models that accurately mirrored their real-life counterparts in astounding detail, quickly gaining recognition within the collector community. Each Semblat piece carries a story of its own, and the brand's history is peppered with interesting facts such as André Semblat originally being an architect using his precise eye for scale in his models.
