Tasmania’s isolation, rich colonial past and passion for preservation means we have antique shops and bazaars featuring intriguing and varied collections of furniture, memorabilia, silver, books, coins and other collectibles.
Look for items featuring Tasmania’s specialty timbers - Huon pine, myrtle, blackwood - and other fine furniture timbers such as colonial cedar and kauri. You may be interested in fine china, colonial artworks or even Georgian silver. You will find excellent antique shops in most Tasmanian cities and towns.
Many shops offer a pack and freight service, so your newly found treasure can be sent home safely.
