George C Birlant & Co

If I could give this upscale antique store more than 5 stars, I would do it. It was truly like stepping back in time. So many beautiful collectibles and decor. I was told they go to England twice a year to shop and bring back exquisite finds. I was fortunate to meet one of the owners. I hope to visit again when I come back to Charleston.

Exploring George C. Birlant & Co. was like stepping back in time. Micah and I were fascinated by their collection of antiques and fine furnishings. The staff shared intriguing stories behind many pieces. Antique enthusiasts visiting Charleston will find this shop enchanting.

Being an antique collector with a great appreciation for finer pieces, this place is a real treasure. Don’t go in if you’re looking for a thrift store… this is a really good antique store with really good antiques. Not Goodwill. Will definitely be back.

Mattie is one of the most genuine and kind people I have ever met in my life. She and not only made my day, but made my entire trip to Charleston. I will definitely be coming back here again. There are all so friendly here and the antiques are absolutely gorgeous!

Wow 🤩 wow 🤩 wow 🤩 !! Professional and friendly….Go above and beyond!! Gorgeous antiques. This is a store worth your time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with (2) generations of Antiques dealers. Especially seeing the paintings of Phil Slotin who studied with Lamar Dodd! A highlight of our visit to Charleston.

They appeared to have a very nice selection, particularly of antique furniture. However, we were very uninspired by the staff. Every other customer who entered was politely greeted and asked if they required any assistance, but the only time we were addressed was when a woman rudely barked at us to not damage a table, sharply saying that it was sold and they “needed to protect it.” Okay, fine. But it was... quite disproportionate, as I had lightly touched the surface of the table with one finger (which was not visibly marked as sold, uncovered, and in the middle of the store). That was enough for us, and we made our way to the exit. As we left, another customer walked in and, to our disappointment but not to our surprise, was pleasantly greeted and asked if she needed assistance. I guess that service is reserved for the 60 and up crowd? Too bad, really, we would’ve loved to go home with a beautiful antique piece.

A dazzling array of fine silver, exquisite porcelain and wondrous wood work. Prices are commensurate with quality, so some things must simply be appreciated by viewing but there are many lovely pieces for smaller price ranges like ours. My favorite store in Charleston.
