The firm was reunited after World War II. Among those closely associated with the Seligmanns were Cesar M. de Hauke, Eugene Glaenzer, Georges Haardt, Werner Jucker, Osar A. Liechti, Mrs. Theresa D. Parker, Arthur Peck, Otto Pojes, Hugo Rose, Arnold Seligmann, Rene Seligmann, Clyfford Trevor, and Hans Waegen.

Some records of related firms, include those of de Hauke & Co., Eugene Glaenzer & Co., Gersel, Modern Paintings, Jacques Seligmann & Fils, and Germain Seligman & Co.
