What You’ll Find:

Some of the finest antiques in Houston, sold on consignment out of an unassuming industrial building in Sawyer Heights. Tables, dining chairs, armchairs, sofas, armoires and vitrines, along with tapestries, mirrors and chandeliers fill the space Dianne Josephs has turned into a wunderkammer of beautiful objects and furnishings. Pedigreed pieces from around the world – from Switzerland to San Francisco - sold (mostly) on 1^st Dibs. The inventory in the showroom is a fraction of what Dianne has to sell.

Why You Should Go:

If you’re in the market for a bed custom designed by THE Bunny Williams, or a museum quality Dutch linen press, Atelier 1505 should be your first stop. And though her 1stDibs shop is gorgeous, if you just look at the site, you’ll miss out on meeting Dianne, who is every bit as gracious as the homes her wares are destined to embellish.
