About A.W. Johnston & Co. Antiques
Here in Savannah we are rich in material culture. America’s first planned city in our 13th colony has been a stop on the peddler’s road and a port into which goods have flowed since the mid 18th century. We seek out the unique and rare, the old and not-so-old; furniture, art, objects and more. It is our great pleasure finding and delivering these treasures directly to our customers. Andrew
