Alex Raskin Antiques

Incredible house that has NOT been restored. Some of the porches I was afraid to walk out on for fear they would fall off. Amazing details and even more amazing antiques. Lots of chairs. 4 floors to look through. How did they ever get the big pieces to the top floors? I just don't know enough about antiques to know if they are good deals, but many pieces were just stunning.

We had a great time visiting this shop, which is located in the only unrestored mansion left in Savannah. The owner was so nice and interesting to talk to. He even let us explore the upper three floors of the building, which are typically closed to visitors.

4 floors of antiques, it's like rummaging through years of family heirlooms in a run down Georgian mansion. The further up you go, the more it feels like you're getting a glimpse of a place you shouldn't be in. Personally enjoyed this more than the house tour at Andrew Low! Get to the top floor, and go out on the patio to get a glimpse of the grand school next door !

I and my 3 friends were very excited about visiting this shop. We got there around 2:30 and after about 30 minutes wondering around the four floors left incredibly disappointed. To begin with, the house itself is BEAUTIFUL but is also falling apart. Paint peels from the ceiling, windows are missing panes, you wonder at certain points if you will fall through the floor. There are obvious holes in the floors on the uppermost level. The attic is even INACCESSIBLE because there IS NO FLOOR. The antiques themselves ( predominantly furniture and wall furnishings) are lovely but I am suspicious of their outrageous prices. I have never seen prices this high on similar pieces. The furniture is crammed all throughout the crumbling mansion, some pieces with prices posted, some without. I ran into the owner a few different times on this trip and he never bothered to smile or initiate a conversation. No "welcome, please come in." He does seem to stare and always be nearby as if he is watching you to make sure you are "worthy" to be a patron. Overall, not impressed. The house itself doesn't deserve to be in the condition it's in and it's only really worth a visit if you're into antique furniture SPECIFICALLY (and gruff, judgemental owners who seem to determine your ability to purchase based on the way you're dressed/your age).

This is an amazing step back into history. So many incredible antiques! Mind blowing!

As much as I love antiques I was drawn to Alex Raskin's just to get inside this historic, magnificent and almost ominous building. The endless selection of period furniture piled up in this gently crumbling grand interior is a sight worth a visit in itself. The old portraits and faded mirrors adorning the walls of the salons give you this very PECULIAR FEELING you can only get in Savannah, like being gently watched or followed all the time. To my surprise, the owner give account to some unexplainable events and ghost sightings within these walls in the past. History is almost palpable here.

We spent and hour and a half wandering through this huge mansion full to max with gorgeous antiques. The house itself is so impressive. Four floors,only 3 accessible , with super high ceilings and beautiful detailed architecture. As you ascend the large staircases it takes you back in time. I would highly recommend this as a stop when touring Savannah.

Don’t make special plans to visit - they don’t update their hours on Google. We planned an afternoon around visiting and they never opened. When they eventually opened we were only able to visit the downstairs room (aka none of the more grandiose photos in reviews).
