| Collection: | (Sm) Seligmann-Alphandery-Pierre Seligmann-Alphandery was an “ingénieur diplômé de l’Ecole Polytechnique.” Dr. Paetow and his team from the ERR paid a visit to the Seligmann-Alphandery apartment and retrieved a specific number of objects, mostly paintings and a tapestry which they brought back to the Jeu de Paume on 4 December 1942. Then a second visit took place on 19 January 1943 during which the other items were confiscated—paintings, furniture, tapestry, enamel. |

| Provenance and Comments: | There is no record in the ERR inventory of this armoire being removed from Mr. Seligmann-Alphandéry's apartment. Moreover, the date of the German seizure of his property (19 January 1943) differs from that reported on the ERR inventory (4 December 1942). Hence, it is possible that there were two waves of confiscation at Mr. Seligmann-Alphandéry's apartment. Hence, we have listed the second date--19 January 1943--as the date of seizure of this armoire by unknown parties. |
