16. Geo. C. Birlant & Company

Birlant's is a store with a relatively low local following. Tourists flock in for the "Charleston Battery Bench). Many of the furniture pieces and most, if not all, of the Chandeliers are reproductions. The items that are antique tend to be of questionable provenance, and tend to be "Centennial" pieces from the later 19th century, rather than the 18th century styles they are modeled after. Not a great value for the money.
