Alkyon Arts and Antiques

"I went up to the door and it seemed closed and then a man named honore came up and pressured me to come inside. I was looking around and he kept asking me intensely personal questions attempting to find out if I was single and asked me to sit down and have a drink with him. Locked the door behind me when I came in. Hated it wish I could give zero stars. Very unsettling experience."

"What a wonderful experience. The proprietor is an exceptionally gracious man who will share his time with anyone who shares his passion. Be patient and listen to him. Be kind. You'll love the conversation and want to return."

"Mr Fred LeClerc is a marvelous reminder of the days when quirky over-stuffed antiques shops were more common than they are today. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and even found something to take home."

"Owner of store, Fred Le Clercq, is fantastic. Great personality and has a true passion for antiques. I purchased a Herman Moll Charleston Map, and couldn't be happier with the purchase experience and the item itself. I highly recommend, and will be back in the future to explore and find new amazing antiques."

"Absolutely love the place - the ambiance and collection of the arts and antiques just amazing. The owner - Fred, and his brother are well aged gentlemen who doesn't care much about customers, but as soon as they recognize real deal of the customer - they open up from the nice side. We came around 4:15 pm, and end up spending almost 2 hours browsing, listening, choosing... End up buying 2 great paintings (after artful negotiation, well enjoyed by both parties). Definitely will be back when in Charleston. P.S.: If you're allowed in the door, the experience you walk away with will alone be worth more than whatever you purchase."
