The Jimmy Possum: an unbroken tradition, showcases Australia’s foremost vernacular furniture making tradition, including works by the eponym, subsequent historical makers and prominent contemporary artisans.
Bound to the people, place and history of the Meander Valley in northern Tasmania; this chairmaking tradition is unlike any other in the world.
It’s defining interlocking configuration; legs that intersect the seat and housed in the arms, back rungs that intersect the arms and housed in the seat, was reputably developed at several Meander Valley bush camps by the fringe-dweller Jimmy Possum.
