Bonhams to Offer Bennett and Judie Weinstock Collection This Fall
NEW YORK, N.Y. — July, 2025 —
Bonhams will present The Bennett & Judie Weinstock Collection this October across two sales, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire works from one of Philadelphia’s most celebrated interior design partnerships. Bennett Weinstock (1940-2025) and Judie Weinstock (1940-2025) spent nearly five decades building an extraordinary holding of English ceramics, furniture, sporting art, decorative objects, and paintings, all drawn from their renowned Philadelphia townhouse. The collection will be offered in a live sale on October 20 at Bonhams’ U.S. flagship at 111 West 57th Street in New York, and in a concurrent online sale, The Bennett & Judie Weinstock Collection: Part II, running October 11-22 through the Massachusetts saleroom.
The Weinstocks were Architectural Digest AD100 honorees whose design philosophy married the elegance of the English country house tradition with vibrant color, bold pattern, and an unapologetic sense of wit. As passionate collectors and respected authorities on English furniture, ceramics, and sporting art, they assembled holdings distinguished by depth, quality, and character that served for decades as a source of inspiration for clients, friends, and fellow collectors alike. Anna Burnside, Specialist and Head of Sale, British Ceramics and Glass at Bonhams, noted that the couple practiced what they preached, combining instinctive flair with rigorous connoisseurship and proudly proclaiming an allergy to all things beige.
Ceramic highlights in the live sale include an Important Whieldon Type Dovecote, estimated at $40,000-$60,000, a Five-Piece Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Garniture Set, Kangxi, estimated at $25,000-$40,000, and “The Death of Munrow,” a Staffordshire pearlware table base group estimated at $15,000-$25,000. Seven Leeds pottery horses, with estimates ranging from $8,000 to $25,000, and over 150 teapots assembled over decades will also be offered. Sporting art highlights include Daniel Quigley’s An Account of the Carriage Match, Made by the Earls of March and Eglingtown, estimated at $30,000-$50,000, and James Pollard’s The Royal Mail Passing the Star and Garter Tavern, estimated at $15,000-$25,000.
Furnishings highlights include a Pietra Dura Mosaic Center Table, a Georgian Walnut Secretary Bookcase, and a Georgian Tooled Leather Top Drum Table, each estimated at $3,000-$5,000. Robert Weinstock, reflecting on the sale, described the collection as a testament to the remarkable partnership that defined his parents’ lives, noting that each piece was discovered, loved, and chosen because it belonged within a larger story.
