About Us

Melrose Treasures began in 2010 in Culver City, backed by decades of antique expertise. Our founder Mike grew up in New England and has worked in the antique industry since the mid-1990s, starting in Boston before relocating to Los Angeles. 

His passion for identifying undervalued treasures at estate sales revealed a major knowledge gap in the market that he knew he had the expertise to fill.

Mike’s knowledge base spans cars, clothing, art, and antique silver, including complex French hallmarks and Russian Imperial pieces. With over 20 years of experience, he is also passionate about jewelry and watches and is a proud longtime member of the NAWCC.

Mike runs Melrose Treasures with his wife, Elena, whose 30+ years in sales management and strong organizational skills ensure every sale runs smoothly. She is trilingual in English, Russian, and Ukrainian.

Together, they look forward to making your estate sale a success.
