Nina Hellman Antiques has been in business for over 35 years, offering fine antique scrimshaw, ship models, whaling material, nautical books and instruments, paintings, prints and manuscript material. We also feature folk art and Nantucket related items including lightship baskets, silver, maps, prints, paintings and books.
We offer a select group of new items complementary to our antique inventory and represent the award-winning scrimshaw artist, Charles A. Manghis as well as the renowned contemporary folk artist Elizabeth Mumford. If you are a serious collector, a neophyte antiquer, a private decorator or just hunting for that special gift item, don’t miss browsing this website which is revised regularly.
We have some wonderful new finds in folk art, documents, whaling, and other categories. And take a look at the Nantucket items we've added, including some very nice lightship baskets.
