Arthur Abraham David Sassoon In 1873, he married (Eugenie) Louise Perugia (1854-1943), daughter of Signor Achille Perugia of Trieste, Italy, whose sister Marie Perugia (1862–1937) was married to Leopold de Rothschild (1845–1917).[2][5][6][7] The couple lived at Albert Gate, Knightsbridge.[8] Louise became a leading socialite in London high society,[6] and her work with poor Jewish girls led to her being appointed CBE.[1] Her portrait was painted by George Frederic Watts (1817–1904) in 1882.[9] It is displayed in Tate Britain.[10]

For many years the couple resided in Hove, East Sussex. In 1881 they were recorded as living at 6 Queen's Gardens, part of a sea-facing terrace of seven late-19th-century mansions. (These were damaged by bombs in World War II and demolished in the 1960s; flats called Kingsway Court now occupy the site.)[11] With a staff of 13 servants, cooks and butlers, they were "one of the largest employers of domestic staff in Hove".[12] Sassoon's brother Reuben lived next door at number 7.[11] From 1883 until Arthur Sassoon's death,[12] they lived at 8 King's Gardens, a Grade II-listed building.[5][13][14]
