Are you on a serious hunt for serious antiques? Poke your nose in here, even if you have to go out of your way. The small store is chocked full of the most interesting unique pieces at reasonable, realistic and competitive prices. The inventory has everything from Pre-Columbian art and figures to a large selecton of Chinese articles, with some Aboriginal and colonial pieces just to round out the collection. Everything is marked and described in detail and no one will bug you while you stare at that treasure you are burning to own.
If you are making a movie and need to feature a third generation antique dealer with infinite knowledge and personal charm, look no further, Warwick Oakman is the perfect fit. He is most helpful and will advise you on the best way to ship your new acquisition back to your home base. Mr. Oakman will forget more about his area of interest by close of business today than others will acquire in a life time, and he has a fine sense of humor in the bargain. He is honest, professional and concerned about where his pieces will end up. For him they are all works of art to be appreciated. Share his enthusiasm and he will make it happen for you.
There are pieces for most interests from small pocket size nuggets to things that require a crew to move. In any event after breakfast at Jackson and McRoss make sure you walk the few blocks to Warwick Oakman Antiques. I did and everyday I get to enjoy my carved Tasmania Walking Stick from 1880. Defintiely worth a look. read more
