Biographical History
Ginsburg & Levy, Inc., was a noted antiques shop in New York City. Brothers-in-law John Ginsburg and Isaac Levy opened a curio shop in 1901 (Bernard Levy jestingly called it a junk shop), but quickly moved into the antiques trade. The firm also operated under the name The Colony Shops. The company sold high quality American and English antique furniture, porcelain, pottery, silver, brass, and other decorative art objects. After the original owners retired, their sons Benjamin Ginsburg and Bernard Levy continued the business. Over the years, Ginsburg & Levy sold furnishings to many noted museums and collectors, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Henry Ford, Henry Francis du Pont, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Electra Havemeyer Webb, Ima Hogg, and Henry Flynt. Between 1973 and 1976, partners Benjamin Ginsburg and Bernard Levy dissolved their firm. However, both men continued in the antique business, Ginsburg as Benjamin Ginsburg Antiquary, and Levy (with his son) as Bernard & S. Dean Levy.
