7.1: Purchase Receipts and Documentation , 1925-1973

This subseries houses receipt files for purchases made by the Paris and New York offices of Jacques Seligmann & Co. Inc., which provide a detailed overview of many of the firm's purchases from 1925 through 1973. The files contain a variety of receipts, invoices, notes, correspondence, bank transfers, and shipping invoices that document purchases, prices, and detailed physical descriptions of artworks, decorative art objects, and antiquities. Found here are important and often fascinating provenance information and documentation of negotiations, commissioned and shared sales, shipping, and banking transfers. For example, the 1937 purchase of Madame Jacques Doucet's collection of Picassos is well documented in these files. Many of the files also note on whose behalf a purchase is being made.

The files are arranged by the firm's inventory numbering system, and the numbers can be cross-indexed with the Inventory and Stock Files (Series 6) and other series referencing the same inventory numbers. Note that many of the inventory numbers do not appear in the purchase receipts, and it is unclear whether they were not used or represent a gap in the documentation. Much of the documentation is in English, although some is in French and German.

This series has been scanned in entirety.
