Slotin. Their store, at 191 King Street, anchors the Historic Charleston Antiques District in Lower King Street and boasts a Circa 1851. Birlant’s maintains a large inventory of reproduction and antique gift items and offers “white glove” courier delivery services anywhere in the US.
He specializes in Antique English furniture, silver, porcelain, earthenware, crystal, brass, longcase clocks and fireside accessories.
