Our Collections
What makes Sylvia Antiques unique is our expansive and diverse collection of Nantucket-related items. With one of the largest inventories of Nantucket lightship baskets on the island, Sylvia Antiques is the go-to source for collectors looking for that unique piece. Our baskets, beautifully handcrafted and intricately woven, come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, each with its unique history and charm.
In addition to our lightship baskets, we offer a wide variety of folk art, Americana, nautical, and decorative art. Our collection ranges from early American furniture, paintings, and prints, to sailor's valentines, scrimshaw, and ship models, all carefully curated and handpicked to ensure our customers' satisfaction.
We invite you to explore our collection online and visit us at our two locations on 15 Main Street and 12 Straight Wharf. While we have a substantial amount of inventory available online, it is not all-encompassing. If there is a particular piece or genre you are looking for, please reach out to us, and we will do our best to locate it for you.
