Bottom Of The Harbour Antiques
Born out of a love for all things nautical, Bottom of the Harbour Antiques was founded. Following a decade-long career travelling the seven seas, founder Mike Meadows decided it was time to come ashore and share his collection. Mike being an ardent collector of nauticalia for many years, had four main obsessions – Scrimshaw, Navigational Instruments, Ships Bells and Diving Helmets. From his own extensive collection he began ‘Bottom of the Harbour’, and now continues to travel to distant parts of the globe to search for sought-after collectibles.
A strong connection to Indonesia, including the opening of multiple Bottom of the Harbour stores in Jakarta and Bali in the late eighties led to a passion for antique Indonesian hand crafted pieces.
An iconic staple in The Rocks, Sydney for over 35 years. Bottom of the Harbour is now based in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. With stores scatted throughout the state. Current stores within: Southern Antiques Centre – Kogarah, Hermitage Road Antiques – Hunter Valley, and Bottom of the Harbour Headquarters – Northern Rivers.
