Mid Century Modern Parquetry Table Lamp – Sculptural Turned Wood Base Parkman Woodware

Introducing a gorgeous vintage Parkman Woodware Mid-Century Modern table lamp featuring an incredible sculptural turned wood base with intricate geometric parquetry inlay.
A bit of history on the brand: Parkman Woodware was an Australian manufacturer (likely based in Melbourne or nearby) known for producing high-quality, handcrafted wooden lighting and furniture during the mid-20th century. They specialized in warm-toned timbers like teak, with signature details such as turned forms and elegant parquetry inlays—techniques that highlighted skilled local craftsmanship and the era’s love for organic, sculptural designs. Pieces like this were prized for blending functionality with artistic flair, making them sought-after among Australian MCM enthusiasts today.

The rich, warm wood tones and chunky, elegant silhouette make it an absolute statement piece that will elevate any room instantly.

The tapered stem flows beautifully into the weighted base, topped with a classic neutral beige fabric shade that casts the most flattering warm glow when lit. Fully functional, in excellent vintage condition with beautiful patina that tells its story.

This is the kind of unique, high-quality lighting that collectors and interior lovers go crazy for – don’t wait until it’s gone.
