About Us

About Southeastern Galleries

Charleston's local furniture store for over 70 years

Family owned and operated furniture store, since its inception seven decades ago. Southeastern Galleries has separated themselves from the competition by offering its customers interior design service.

Bill Cooper, who along with his father-in-law, Norman Cannon, opened Southeastern Galleries in the 1950’s. There weren’t that many furniture stores doing design work at the time.

Southeastern Galleries as a furniture store in Charleston has grown but it’s still a family affair. Trudie Cooper CEO, Randolph Cooper a designer and Will Cooper, graphic designer are third and fourth generations. Continuing the philosophy, our clients know how important they are to us. If we can understand and implement their vision, their likes, wants, needs and ideas and do a beautiful job for them, then we've done our job. That's what we strive for. Unmatched in customer service has been our driving force from the beginning.

Citadel graduate, with a business degree and Korean War veteran, our founder Bill Cooper pointed out that the growth of the islands around Charleston has played a role in our company’s expansion and evolution. In addition to our projects locally, Southeastern Galleries have completed projects nationally and internationally. Southeastern Galleries designers are a major reason customers keep coming back.

Regardless of how the industry evolves, Southeastern Galleries will be there to take care of the design and furniture needs of their loyal clients, from the purchase of their first home to their beach house and everything else in-between.
