Bottom Of The Harbour Antiques

Discover a treasure trove of maritime history at Bottom of the Harbour Antiques in the Northern Rivers of NSW, home to an eclectic collection of nautical antiques, maritime collectables and unique pieces sourced from around the world.

Founded by Mike Meadows after more than a decade travelling the seven seas, Bottom of the Harbour grew from his lifelong passion for collecting nauticalia. His original collection focused on four favourites – scrimshaw, navigational instruments, ship bells and diving helmets – and has since expanded to include an ever-changing selection of fascinating and hard-to-find pieces.

Mike’s strong connection with Indonesia also inspired a passion for antique Indonesian furniture, décor and handcrafted pieces, following the opening of Bottom of the Harbour stores in Jakarta and Bali in the late 1980s.

After more than 35 years as an iconic fixture in The Rocks, Sydney, Bottom of the Harbour is now headquartered in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales.

For antique lovers, collectors and treasure hunters visiting the Northern Rivers, it’s a fascinating place to uncover distinctive pieces filled with history, character and stories from across the globe.
