Moïse Lévy de Benzion

Moïse Lévy de Benzion (1873–1943) was an Egyptian department store owner who built an important collection of art and antiquities.

As a collector, Lévy de Benzion's acquisitions included Chinese and oriental art, textiles, carpets, books, and an important collection of Egyptian antiquities.

[3][4] His Egyptian items included fragments from the lost tomb of Nebamun,[1] and one of the earliest known glass portraits, believed to depict Amenhotep II.

[11] Alfred Sisley's Summer at Bougival was seized by Göring's agent Walter Hofer at the ERR, then traded to Fischer, who sold it to Emil Georg Bührle in 1942.

[1][2] His collection was sold at auction at Villa Benzion, 6 Rue El Amir Omar, Zamalek, Cairo, in March 1947 in a sale of over 900 lots.
