Antiques and Collectables

• A collector's heaven
• The perfect way to spend and afternoon - antique browsing.

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.

Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie all have fine antique shops - but make sure you also visit the country towns of Latrobe, Evandale, New Norfolk, Richmond, Oatlands, Bothwell and others - there are still wonders waiting.
