Nautical Antiques & Decor: Anchors, Glass Floats & More!

Nautical enthusiasts have long admired the deep sea for the mysteries it holds, the potential for adventure and exploration, and its natural beauty. For some, it’s the thrill and excitement at the possibility of finding and displaying nautical treasures. To others, the sea represents serene aesthetics with nautical pieces, creating calm amid life’s storms. Using authentic maritime antiques as part of nautical décor can make a beach house or lake house come alive, bringing some of that seafaring charm from the open air of the sea to the indoors. The gleam of antique brass used in nautical items creates an elegance you might find in a captain’s private quarters. At Big Ship Salvage, we have unique finds for everyone, from the antique collector to the casual home decorator. Grab one of our brass binnacles to showcase collectible navigation items as a focal point to a private collection, or hang some brass portholes as mirrors or picture frames on the wall.
Other nautical pieces, such as a well-placed iron anchor leaning in the corner, a nautical rope ladder used as shelving for liquor bottles by your bar, or wall sconces and other nautical light fixtures used throughout your home, will create a pleasant ambiance for those who love the sea.

The term Nautical Antiques encompasses many related items.  As you will see in this category, there is everything from ship anchors, doors, and fishing floats.  Also included are authentic ship ladders, ship wheels, ship clocks, nautical table lamps and much more.

Whether you are new to nautical antiques looking to add a few pieces to your coastal theme for a den or kitchen, or the avid maritime salvage hunter looking to add large centerpiece additions to your collection such as brass compensating binnacles or authentic brass ship wheels this is your place.  Copper, brass, aluminum or a combination of metals can be found here in pieces salvaged from working ships that have crossed the seven seas or the great lakes.

Adding a touch of nautical coastal décor to your home or office will enhance the look and feel of any area.  Big Ship Salvage has items for both inside and outside use.  All lights are rewired with UL listed  sockets and wiring harnesses that include ground wires for wet conditions.  Our antiques will be the focal point of your renovation and make all your neighbors a little jealous!  Add a little nautical decoration into your home with items from Big Ship Salvage.
