  • The Antique House has become TheAntiqueHouse.com
  • I am still the owner.  My name is Diane M. DellaValle
  • My new title is antique broker.  Meaning when I buy something my goal will be to find a buyer and sell it instead of putting it somewhere and hoping it will sell itself.
  • My goal is to find just the right thing for you.  Tell me what you want and I'll find it for you.  E-mail me at Diane@TheAntiqueHouse.com or call me at (818) 957-1111 with your requests, passions (keep it clean)and collections.
  • Instead of 9,000 customers I now have 150 million.  But you're the most important.
  • I want to sell you quality antique furniture and furnishings from 1750 to 1940.  If you have any of those antiques that you want to sell, I'll buy them. Especially the following:
  • Fine Art, especially California plein air painters.
  • Decorative art.

My Mission Statement
  • To provide the highest quality product for the best possible price.
  • To provide the outstanding customer service and to guarantee complete satisfaction.
  • To  respresent items for sale honestly, completely and concisely. 
  • To Serve the community by offering help to those who need it.  This includes resource referrals, information about  antiques, guidance as to how to research an item.
  • To be available, free of charge,  to present programs on antiques to local organizations and groups.  My most popular program is Diane's Antiques Roadshow.  Everyone in the group brings an item to be identified and appraised.    My second most popular program is How to Become an Antique Dealer in One Easy Lesson.  Both of these programs are lots of fun and can be presented in 30 to 60 minutes depending on your organization's needs.These programs and others can be used as fundraisers.  Contact me by e-mail for more information.

  • We have the best return policy in the business!

    If you’re not 100% satisfied with the way your piece looks after you get it home, bring it back within ten days of your purchase for a full cash refund.  If you tell us you’re buying a gift at the time of your purchase, we’ll extend your return time to 30 days past the event!  Christmas gifts are returnable until Jan. 31!
  • Happy Customers are our best sales people.
  • Free antique appraisal clinic the second Thursday of every month from 11am to 2pm.  Our research library is available to our customers during all open hours.  We will guide you to the proper books and copy pertinent pages for you but ask that you not remove books from the store.
