Emma Budge

They lived at the so-called "Budge-Palais" on the Alster, Hamburg, and amassed a large art collection.

However, a large portion of it was sold at auction in Berlin in October 1937, the proceeds going to a Budge estate account at M. M. Warburg & Co. bank.

The bank was subsequently Aryanized, her Jewish executors dismissed, and her heirs defrauded of their money.

[5] At the 1937 auction, Otto and Magdalena Blohm bought seven 18th-century Italian commedia dell'arte porcelain figures that had been part of the Budge collection.

Edward and Kiyi Pflueger later acquired the figures and in 2006 bequeathed them to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA).
