Our Story is Rooted in Family Tradition…
Inspired by the love of doll collecting from her own mother, Diane Hoffman found her passion for dolls at a young age.
Forty-five years ago, Diane founded Turn of the Century Antiques on Antique Row in Denver, Colorado. During this time, she has acquired a vast knowledge of all aspects of the antique world, specializing in dolls and teddy bears. She has become one of the most respected authorities in the field of antique and collectible dolls. Our remarkable showcase store in the center of Denver’s Antique Row shopping district is only surpassed by her collection of satisfied customers. The shop’s current location has been in its current location for thirty-five years and remains family-owned and operated. It is the home office of the world-famous Virtual Doll Convention.
