Arkwright & Carpenter specialises in the sale and purchase of Australian, mostly Tasmanian, colonial vernacular furniture and decorative arts. Plus books on those subjects.

Located  in the centre of the Tasmanian midlands, at 47 High St Oatlands, an historic milling, wool and pastoral town dating from 1817.

In many ways Oatlands is the essence of all that is happening in Tasmania for conservation, new businesses and creativity. A great and thoughtful day out.

Items are mostly unrestored, country made items, by carpenters, bodgers (bush chair makers) cabinetmakers (arkwrights) and artisans. Like our brother store, Warwick Oakman Antiques at Richmond, is a  commitment to originality, patina, beauty and integrity of materials.

Warwick is a third generation antique dealer, Commonwealth Government Valuer (Tasmanian Art & Decorative Arts 1803 – 1939) and regular contributor to journals, lectures and fairs nationally.
