One of Charleston’s finest antique shops, Wynsum Antiques and Interiors, is celebrating the opening of their second location at 903 Houston Northcutt Blvd. in Mt. Pleasant with a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, May 13 at 2 p.m.
The Chamber Executive Director Rebbeca Imholz will lead the celebration. Other guests in attendance will include Town Councilmembers as well as Chamber Ambassadors and other town officials. There will also be a gathering of dealers and friends for light bites and refreshments to follow.
Owner and architect, John Palmer has operated the original downtown store at 648 King Street since 2017 and is thrilled to have curated another space that welcomes interior designers, antique collectors and everyday customers wanting one-of-a-kind treasures. “For eight years, Wynsum Downtown has offered patrons fine antiques such as early European and American furniture, elegant lighting, paintings for old masters, contemporary works by living artists and everything in-between” says Palmer. “With this concept in mind, we have assembled another amazing space filled with unique furnishings and decor, lighting, modern and traditional art, and distinctive gifts. We also have a fine selection of estate jewelry, silver, rugs and objects for the garden.”
Similar to the downtown store, Wynsum Mt. Pleasant houses a collective of 30 individual dealers, hand-picked by Palmer to offer Mt. Pleasant customers exquisite items for their homes, gardens and businesses. One vendor, Carroll Neville of Southern Exposure, specializes in high-end art and antiques with an emphasis on the classic sporting lifestyle reminiscent of a well-appointed English hunting lodge. Lori Bate, the owner of The Wren Home sources her pieces from all over the world, including porcelain from Portugal, ceramics from Turkey, cashmere and blown glass from Italy, textiles from Mexico and wrought iron pieces from here in South Carolina. Julien Libaire of Windward Antiques offers a collection of antique maritime paintings and nautical pieces that tell the rich history of life on the coast.
