Maidhof Bros. Shipware Merchants

At Maidhof Bros. Shipware Merchants, we combine over 45 years of tradition with a genuine love and knowledge of the seafaring life.

Through the centuries, the sea has possessed a mysterious and alluring quality that intrigues our curiosity. We travel across the world to bring the best nautical antiques to you. Our family owned and operated antique shop has been offering ocean decor since 1968. From vintage brass marine lanterns, ships clocks, bells, sextants, artwork and restored Captain's furniture, you can own an authentic relic of days gone by with one of our gorgeous marine artifacts.

Our inventory features vintage and antique pieces dredged from salvaged from ships that will sail no more.

We have antique diving helmets, ship blueprints, navigational instruments, and marine furnishings to satisfy any sea-dog or ocean lover. Built to survive the harsh environments on board ships, our furnishings are of particularly durable quality, made with mahogany and other seaworthy hardwoods.

We also help revive the beauty and function of original antiques in the form of brass polishing services. We also provide restoration service in the form of brass polishing to antiques in need of revival.
