Joseph Sorger Joseph Sorger (1919-2008) amassed an extensive and impressive collection throughout his lifetime as an established Philadelphia art and antiques dealer and collector. His collection encompasses a wide range of objects from Chinese ivory and porcelain to American classical furniture to European decorative arts.

Born in 1919 to German immigrant parents, Joe served in World War II as a Master Sargeant in the 341st Medical Group receiving multiple medals and an honorable discharge, attended the Philadelphia Museum College of Industrial Arts (presently the University of the Arts) graduating with honors in interior and furniture design, then started a flourishing career as a successful interior designer under the tutelage of Elizabeth Bair.

His time spent at Sorger and Schwartz with business partner and lifetime acquaintance Morton Schwartz, often referred to as “Mutt” by those who knew him best, proved to be a successful collaboration. Joe and Mutt cultivated a relationship that included nearly sixty years in business together. Their friends, clients and associates included curators, professors, architects, and collectors from Edward V. Jones, Jed & Jay Johnson and Berry Tracy to Philadelphia's own Harry Burke, Henry McIlhenny and Dr. Robert Smith. As an interior designer, Sorger decorated many high-profile residences in prestigious Philadelphia neighborhoods and including the private collections of icons like Andy Warhol and Pearl S. Buck, including the museum dedicated to her life and work.

In the winter of 1976, Joe moved to the prestigious address at 2003 Delancey Place in Philadelphia, purchasing the 1860's five-story home from friend and employer, Elizabeth Bair. The address came with a distinguished history, once being the home of the Patterson family, a prominent Philadelphia family, including Philadelphia Criminal Attorney Christopher “Chippy” Patterson (1875-1933). Throughout the time which the Patterson family occupied the residence, the house was often used for hosting lavish parties and prestigious guests. Reportedly, Benjamin Harrison, the twenty-third president of the United States, was included among them.

Joe loaned and sold objects from his collection to museums from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Winterthur Museum and Country Estate,

the Yale University Art Gallery to the New Jersey gubernatorial mansion, Drumthwackett. He lived his life with the idea that “you don't own anything in this life, you are only a caretaker.”

Joe had an eye for period interiors and the objects that filled them. He spent thirty years decorating his Delancey Place home with antiques and it was one of his last wishes that his large and impressive collection be sold by Samuel T. Freeman and Company, a place where he had purchased so many of his treasures over the years. Freeman's is pleased and honored to offer for sale the Joseph Sorger Collection.

169 ATTRIBUTED TO LAWRENCE KILBURN (american 1720-1775) PORTRAIT OF MANUEL JOSEPHSON (1729-1796) Oil on canvas, painted in the oval 29 x 24 1/2 in. (73.7 x 61.6cm); together with a PORTRAIT OF RACHEL JOSEPHSON Oil on canvas, painted in the oval 29 x 24 1/2 in. (73.7 x 61.6cm)

exhibited: (Portrait of Manuel Josephson) ‘In the Beginning - American Judaica ca 1760’ Rosenbach Museum and Library, Philadelphia, PA, November 9, 1994 - April 6, 1995

note: Manuel Josephson was a German immigrant and an important figure in the Jewish community of 18th century Colonial America. Manuel Josephson and Rachel Judah were married in 1759 in New York City, at which time Manuel was President of Congregation Shearith Israel. Rachel is believed to be a relative of Baruch Judah, who was the subject of a

signed and dated (1761) Lawrence Kilburn painting [see: ‘American Colonial Portraits’ catalogue (NPG 1987)]. The Josephsons moved to Philadelphia from New York in 1776.

In Philadelphia Manuel was the leader of Congregation Mikveh Israel, founded in Philadelphia in 1740. In a show of Jewish communal loyalty to the newly formed U.S. Government, Josephson met with

10/05/10

President George Washington on December 13, 1790 and presented him with a letter of congratulations on behalf of Mikveh Israel, and congregations in New York, Charleston and Richmond (see: ‘The Jacob Rader Marcus Center of American Jewish Archives/ Significant Documents Illuminating the American Jewish Experience’ online). Washington replied to

Josephson, stating in part, ‘The affection of such a people is a treasure beyond the reach of calculation: and the repeated proofs which my fellow-citizens have given of their attachment to me, and approbation of my doings, form the purest source of my temporal felicity...’ (see: ‘The Occident and American Jewish Advocate/George Washington’s Letter to Jewish

Congregations’ online, and ‘Congregation Mikveh Israel’ online).

Although he is listed in the New York Historical Society’s Dictionary of Artists in America, paintings by Kilburn are very rare. For Similar portraits by Kilburn, please see American Colonial Painting by Waldron P. Belknap, in which Kilburn’s portraits of Gerret Abeel and James Beekman are comparable

to the present portrait of Manuel Josephson and Kilburn’s portrait of Mrs. Garret Abeel is comparable to the present portrait of Rachel Josephson.
