Maurice Sigismund Sulzbach (1853-1922), was born in Frankfurt
am Main, to a banking family. He moved to Paris in December
1882, when he married Marguerite Ida Premsel. He was an
academic collector with extremely eclectic tastes ranging from
Dutch old master paintings to objects of Islamic and Asian art.
He donated several items to the Louvre before he died. His
wife Marguerite was more attracted to contemporary art and
befriended many painters such as Maurice Denis, Jean Louis
Forain and, later on, the Japanese artist Foujita. Marguerite was
also an artist in her own right and started painting on porcelain
at an early age and later created works in pottery at a kiln
installed in her home.
