Talk:Jacques Seligmann & Company

Antiquities in the lead
I find this rather intriguing. "Antiquities" are usually associated with ancient Greece and Rome, hardly consistent with the interests of Seligmann. Could the correct term be "antiques"? In any case, insofar as the article does not expand on antiquities, perhaps it should be deleted from the lead? Unless, of course, you refer to paintings by 19th century artists? - Ipigott (talk) 18:42, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

I've just found a Britannica reference which refers to "antiques" which appears to me to be correct. "Antiquities" probably comes from the French "antiquités". See here. - Ipigott (talk) 19:24, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The finding aid I used from the Archives of American Art describes it as "Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., was counted among the foremost French and American art dealers in antiquities and decorative arts and was among the first to foster and support the growth and appreciation for collecting in the field of contemporary European art." So, that is where I got antiquities. Between you and me, I won't protest if you decide to change it. There are a few mentions in the finding aid, but, I did not feel they were relevant or really needed in the Wikipedia article. Let's change it to antiques - they did sell "antiques" too ;-) SarahStierch (talk) 19:50, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
