About 1842
1842

"1842" occupies one of Launceston's oldest commercial buildings on the corner of St John and Cimitiere Streets (opposite the Tourist Information Centre) in the CBD.  Our retail showroom is in the original Counting House of Johnstone and Wilmot's wholesale grocery business, while the furniture workshop and exhibition space is in the unusual warehouse building, considered architecturally unique in Australia.  From our inner-city showroom, we also retail hand-made furniture and wood products for other Northern Tasmanian makers and exhibit art and glassware by Tasmania's finest artists. The artisans of "1842" make fine, hand-crafted studio furniture, mainly from Tasmanian timbers such as Huon pine, Myrtle, Blackwood and Sassafras.
