This has been restored using a third party professional restoration service.
The restoration process involves removing the original finish on the exterior, then treating any marks or blemishes and refinishing with a satin finish catalyzed protective lacquer. The interior has been cleaned.
Colour matching of the finish is done during the refinishing process and any lighter or darker patches are appropriately lightened or darkened to leave a consistent colour across the complete surface. This means any sun faded patches disappear and extension leaves on tables are colour matched.
The new finish is superior to many you will see advertised and is considered both scratch and water resistant in comparison with the majority of other finishes.
This means maintenance of the furniture is very low effort and the furniture will be well preserved into the future.

Design Story
Founded in the 1930s by Fred Parker, the company grew from a small workshop into a national reference point for well made timber furniture. Its rise really accelerated in the 1950s and 1960s, when Australian homes were shifting toward cleaner, more modern living spaces.
Parker became known for its use of solid timbers, especially teak and walnut, combined with simple, functional silhouettes. The pieces were designed to last, both structurally and stylistically, which is why so many are still in circulation today rather than discarded.
Unlike many European counterparts that leaned heavily into experimental design culture, Parker stayed grounded in practical elegance. Dining tables, sideboards, chairs and lounge pieces were built with proportion and durability in mind, often becoming the quiet centre of Australian family homes.
Today, Parker Furniture is widely collected and restored, sitting at the intersection of nostalgia and design credibility. Its pieces are not just vintage furniture, they are a snapshot of how Australia learned to live with modern design without losing warmth or utility.
