This Danish-inspired nest of 3 PARKER Furniture coffee / side tables sold through iNVISeDGE in 2007 for $440. These days in 2019 I’d sell the exact nest of 3 tables for ABOUT $529.
If you have a similar item to sell AND YOU’RE A DEALER (you have an antique shop or market stall) I’d be very happy to list an item of this callibre online in iNVISeDGE (for around $529). NO COMMISSION FEE- you just pay us what you feel when you’ve had a good week. We will work at bringing new clientele into your shop or to your market stall. We’d need about 8 photos from all angles- your photos would have to be about as good as those shown in this listing. If you don’t have a shop and you’re a dealer, we’d also stock at item like this online in iNVISeDGE, we’ll find an online buyer for you and take control of the sales process on your behalf- in this case our commission fee would be around 10% to 18.5%. Again we’d need about 8 good photos from various angles- at least as good as those shown in this listing.
Items like this prove that good vintage and antique designs never go out of style- most actually increase in value (at least along with inflation).
Background Info and Provenance
(This description was written in 2007 when these tables sold.)
A vintage coffee table set from the early 1960s with a clever design and sleek refined style comprising of a coffee table and 2 side tables. These are PARKER FURNITURE pieces- they don’t have the PARKER stamps on them but I am certain they were done by Parker. They show the superior construction techniques for which Parker Furniture is renowned. The two side tables fit under the coffee table tailoring a smart, compact unit but they can also be pulled out to use as side tables. The teak is also beautiful with a stylish grain in the timber. This coffee table set would be right at home in any mid-century interior and would be especially ideal in a small inner-city apartment as the side tables can pushed away when not needed. Early PARKER FURNITURE pieces are hot property at the moment and this popularity is set to continue- these vintage pieces are well-built with a beautifully sleek style that’s hard to replicate cheaply.
VIEWINGS, PICK-UP and Delivery Freight Info ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This item is located in SYDENHAM, 8km South of SYDNEY City. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
VIEWINGS . . . of furniture items will usually be possible (all furniture is in storage though). Send me a question and your phone number and/or email address if the photos and description don’t meet your needs. I can arrange an agent to go to the storage site if needed. Read my 1150+ ebay feedback comments (ALL for vintage furniture/decor SALES-100 or so are from repeat customers). I have had no negative feedback in over 15 years selling on ebay and this has been my full-time occupation. This is your guarantee that I work hard to describe my stock as accurately as possible and will not stock items I can’t personally recommend. Some items I acquire don’t end up in iNVISeDGE because they don’t make the grade. (I sell these under a different user-name on ebay.) I have had furniture items go all over the world (sight unseen) and do everything that’s reasonably possible to make my customers happy with their choice to support my business.

PICK-UP . . . is accepted- professional delivery is preferred. This item is heavy and will require 2 strong people for pick-up. PLEASE NOTE- I live in Brisbane and run this business from Brisbane. PICK-UPS and VIEWINGS will be facilitated by a sub-contractor (someone who is NOT an employee of iNVISeDGE). I recommend that customers use a specialist furniture carrier for larger furniture items- these people know what they’re doing and come with what’s needed to look after your investment. I’ve seen too many customers try to force things in the back of 4WDs or put something in a trailer not protected. (If you’re hiring a trailer it makes no sense- the cost of professional delivery is comparable to hiring the trailer!) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We help customers with freight arrangements in every way we can BUT booking in transit (and paying for freight) is the responsibility of THE BUYER. I made a conscious choice to get rid of my vehicle in 2009 (for environmental reasons) so I have a depth of experience in the area of furniture freight. I will inform all iNVISeDGE customers of the transport carriers best suited to their job, what each carrier charges and their strengths. CUSTOMERS WILL BOOK IN THEIR OWN FREIGHT so they’re in control of what’s happening and will know exactly what’s going on. At any time though customers have the option to consult with us. Our experience in the area will ensure you’re looked after and the freight process will be seamless and easy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A ROUGH IDEA OF FREIGHT PRICES by specialist professional FURNITURE carriers. . . LOCAL DELIVERIES tend to be ABOUT $70 to $100 for a ONE-MAN delivery (for ONE standard sized item eg. 3.5-seater sofa or a set of 6 dining chairs). If you live over 25km away from the item, delivery will be AROUND $120 but it depends on various factors such as access issues and when you can receive the item. Sydney is a little more expensive compared to Brisbane (as another example) . . . . . . . “Normal” INTERSTATE DELIVERY (eg. Brisbane to Sydney OR Melbourne to Sydney) is generally about $250 for ONE standard-sized item (eg. a 3.5-seater sofa or a set of 6 dining chairs but it can depend on various factors. Sometimes it will be cheaper- $250 is about the average. Smaller items are less than $250. If you have a really big sofa (as an example) it will usually be around $280. These prices are given so you have a rough idea of whether interstate delivery might be an option for you. If you are unsure about it all please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
