Welcome to Wynsum Antiques & Interiors 🏺✨
Meet John Palmer, the owner behind it all, whose background in architecture helped shape the thoughtful, curated feel of the space. In 2016, John took over Antiques & Interiors Market on King and reimagined it as Wynsum Antiques & Interiors, naming the shop after his father’s boat, a 1951 Pacemaker wooden cabin cruiser.

Wynsum brings together nearly 50 antique dealers from across the Southeast at both its King Street shop and its Mt. Pleasant location, creating a shopping experience filled with fine antique furniture, vintage décor, and timeless finds from around the world. It’s the kind of place you can wander for hours, always discovering something new.

When he’s not at the shop, John loves exploring Upper Upper King and supporting the local businesses that make the neighborhood so special.
