Medal House

About us

My name is Jani Tiainen. I am the co-onwer of the MedalHouse and live in Espoo, near the capital of FINLAND.

I have studied Art History in the University of Helsinki in 1990's and focused on heraldry and phaleristics. More than 70 articles of mine have appeared in Finnish magazines during the last few years. I worked with the Finpro (The Foreign Trade Assoc. Of Finland) for last 4 years until becoming full-time dealer.

I have been collecting Finnish Liberation War orders and medals since the beginning of the 90?Ls and I am always keen to buy all kinds of better Finnish militaria for myself and for my customers. About three years ago I started building my Imperial German and EK1 collection... we will see what happens, but not much to show right now. So, even I am dealer I am also collector who understands the needs of other collectors.

I have an experience of international trade since the early 90's from medal dealing and later from the Foreign trade Association of Finland, and believe me, thousands of miles long transactions are the postman's problems, not the collector's.

Buy with confidence and good collecting

Sincerely yours,

Jani Tiainen
