Hanns Weinherg, the 57th Street antiques dealer and pert (?) on european porcelains and French decorative arts, died Sunday of cancer at his home, 605 Park Avenue. He was 76 years old.
Mr. Weinberg was regardet internationally as the world's must influential dealer in porcelains, French furnishings ant Renaissance jewelry by the collectors, heads of state, members of royalty and museum curators who frequented his London and New York galleries.
But he did not choose at first to become an antiques dealer. Art and porcelains were the avocation of this German born collector who had assent. Ned (?) paintings and choice Meisstm (Meissner?) and Sevres (?) pieces when he
was successful lawyer in Berlin before the Nazis came to power.
In [i ft:18.] (1938) he [*fete] (fleed) with his wife, Lisa, his daughter, Rotraut, and his son, Martin, to London. There, in 1945, Mr. Weinberg opened his first antiques establishment on Bond Street. It was in that shop that he began attracting the prestigious following that soon included the Queen Mother of Britain, Princess Margaret, the Duke of Windsor, King Gustav VI of Sweden, Umberto of Italy and a score of industrialists and financiers including Henry Ford, several members of the Rothschild and Rockefeller families, the Ogden Phippses, Byron Foys, Charles Wrights and [2d Shop Opened (=Werbeeinschub?)]
By 1957, when Mr. Weinberg opened his second shop in hi five‐story (?) New York City town. house his clientele was well established, Today that building continues as the temporal home Inc (?) the trappings of French and Russian palace and, in its basement, the largest collection outside of museum here of Renaissance jewelry. But it was in the late 1960's and the early 1970's that his dominance of the porcelain and the French 1Sth (=18th) century furnishings market beobvious (?) even (dazwischen Werbeeinschub)
In that period, prices doubted at auction for pedigreed porcelain and period French commodes and chandeliers and at Limes (times?) it seemed that Mr. Weinberg was responsible for the ‐ocketing (?) prices. “He was a formidable competitor,” a coleague said yesterday.
The dealer a met.iculous (metriculous?) man of slight build, would enter Sotheby Parke Bernet's main auction gallery, and the events that followed, setting several records in a single afternoon, for instance, would often become the talk of the art trade.
In October 1972, he arrived for a sale of Frederic Remington bronzes, a field he had avoided until then. And when “Coming Through the Rye” was moved to center stage and John L. Marion, Sotheby's president in New York, opened the bidding at $50,000, Mr. Weinberg ‘leaped (?) from his up‐front (?) scat and shouted “I hid $125,000.” The audience gasped, the hammer fell and Mr. Weinberg departed with his prize, a bronze that is one of the tnany treasures still on view at his shop.
“There was always a gleam in his eye when he %vas (?) about to hid and you knew he would not stop until he had purchased what he came for,” Edward Lee Cave, a senior vice president of Sotheby, said yesterday.
“Unequaled in Influence”
“He was a titan among the porcelain enthusiasts,” Carl Dauterman, curator emeritus of Western European Arts of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, said. “He was so much more enterprising, so strong in his actions, so bold in his purchasing and so sage in his advice to collectors—even those purchasing on a modest scale—he was unequaled in his influence.”
Mr. Weinberg was born in Dortmund and educated in Berlin where he completed his studies at the Joachimstahler Gymnasium at the age of 15 and then entered the University of Berlin to study law.
He is survived by his daughter, Rotraut Weinberg Beiny, who had been his associate in the business for 17 years as president and runs the London shop: his son, Dr. Martin Wynyard, a surgeon of Syracuse,,and five grandchildren.
