Siegfried Barden

Also known as: Siegfried Barden; primary name: Barden, Siegfried
Details: individual; collector; German; Male
Life dates: 1854-1917
Biography: Collector of old master prints and Japanese antiquities; a Hamburg merchant who over 25 years built a fine collection of prints (Schongauer, Dürer, Rembrandt, Chodowiecki, etc), ancient Greek antiquities and Japanese objects. He bought principally from German and Paris dealers; after his death in 1917, his widow Agnes Barden (q.v.) sold most of the prints at C.G. Boerner's sale in Leipzig in 1921, retaining a few prints as a souvenir. Just before her death, she gave to the Museum in 1952 a significant group of Siegfried Barden's Japanese antiquities. A manuscript catalogue of Siegfried Barden's collection recorded in a black hardbound exercise book either shortly before or after 1917, together with documentary material, including a photograph of the collector and invoices of several of his acquisitions from German and Paris dealers before the First World War, was given by his grandnephew, Professor Walter Elkan, to the Museum in 2007 (these are kept in the P&D Library).
