dresser from Ryan's Relics
Juliet A.

Ryan's Relics is a SPECTACULAR find. My husband and I live in DC, and are in desperate need of furnishing our first home. A coffee shop in DC attributed its very chic antique-styled furniture to a place in Baltimore. With only that information, and no name, we searched for antique shops in the Baltimore area. Ryan's Relics caught our eye (you can peruse merchandise on the website) and we decided to make the trek from DC to check out the goods in person. We were not disappointed. Sitting on a very unassuming corner, Ryan's Relics is a goldmine for quality antique furniture. Yes, there are some "garage sale" type items (comic books, trinkets from yesteryear, costume jewelry), but what really sells this place is the furniture. Gorgeous hardwood and well-made items in excellent condition - with pretty fantastic prices to boot. Not the kind of deal you're likely to get off of Craigslist, but a deal just the same. Furniture ranges from old secretaires to china cabinets to vanities to sideboards/buffets to desks to armoires to headboards to couches...you get the picture. We ended up getting two beautiful items made of mahogany wood. A china cabinet ($150) and a dresser/chest of drawers ($250) - each in outstanding condition - no noticeable blemishes and no defects. While there are pieces ranging from a variety of periods, the early century furniture seems to be most popular. Our china cabinet and dresser are from the 1930's. The only problem we had was getting the furniture back to DC. The store used to contract out to a moving guy, but he had just severed ties with R.R...so we were left to our own devices. Items can be held for a few days, about 3-4. We ended up renting a U-Haul from DC (a hassle but cheaper than what we were quoted elsewhere for a mover) and the staff at Ryan's was so sweet and helpful in packing up our items and helping us to secure them in our little truck. They close strictly at 6 but stayed later to make sure we were all squared away with our items. They also told us that they sell many of their items to antique dealerships in DC and Virginia - who of course then mark it up at least 100%. We actually have been to a couple of antique places in DC carrying similar items...at several times the cost. So, while this store is out of the way for us, the amazing quality of goods and relatively affordable prices and superb customer service will guarantee that we make another trip up.

This is the smaller building of the two Ryan's Relics, a few blocks from the gigantic Ryan's Relics store. The smaller decor is downstairs (jewelry, china, high brow items, and kitsch) except for some corner cabinets, china cabinets, and lamps. The upstairs has some of the sizable furniture that you might find at the larger RR store. Ryan's furniture has character. I loathe the McMansion-type modern furniture so it is a fantasy land here. There are many furniture themes here but my favorites are mahogany pieces from the Jacobean, Georgian, Queen Ann, and Victorian era. They have plenty of mid-century/Mad Men, Gothic Revival, Amish-styled, Brady Bunch, and even Rococo pieces. If you find several items or a large and bulky item, they can deliver it to your home for a small fee. The staff will also put the items in your car if it can fit.

Never know what will be in stock. Always worth the stop. Fair prices. Small and furniture and everything in between. Nice staff.
