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.

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.

Phil will help you find the special item you are looking for. Don't stop if you are in a hurry, many items in the store are pulling for your attention. If you are fortunate and have the opportunity to converse with Phil you will uncover a wealth of knowledge!

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!

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.

For a Volunteer Appreciation BBQ we wanted to honor our awesome long-term Volunteer Coordinator and her equally awesome husband with a Charleston Bench and plaque. I, unfortunately, ordered the bench & plaque on a tight timeframe, so let them know we could get it after the fact, but would really appreciate it if they could mount it on the bench and we got it on time. Everyone I dealt with at Birlant's was wonderful!! And we received the bench with plaque in time for the presentation. Thank you Birlant.

George C. Birlant & Co on King Street in Charleston is a great place to find unique and quality antiques. There always seems to be something special and an item that really stands out every time I shop here. There is a wide selection of many different items that represent some of the history of Charleston. The staff here is very helpful and will do their best to make sure that you have all of your questions answered and you have a pleasant shopping experience. There are some good finds here.

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.

The best experience I have had with antiques for a very long time. The quality is superior. It brought back memories from when I went antique shopping with my mom and dad for our store back in Titusville Florida. We use to shop and travel to buy antiques and my dad use to refinish and reupholstered them. This store is totally worth stopping in. The quality you won't be disappointed.
