The New York business was located at 11 East 52nd Street. The parent company, Jacques Seligmann & Cie, was established in 1880 on the rue des Mathurins in Paris by Jacques Seligmann (1858–1923). In 1900 a larger Galerie Seligmann was opened on the Place Vendôme, and Jacques Seligmann’s two brothers, Simon and Arnold Seligmann (1870–1932), joined the business as partners. In 1912, a family quarrel resulted in a lawsuit that split the company. Arnold Seligmann remained at the Place Vendôme location, reorganized under the name Arnold Seligmann & Cie.
