Sydney Albert Parker purchased Tesla Framing works in 1917, changing the name to
S.A Parker Framing in 1920, going on the become the leading framers for Sydney
and many Australian artists. The proximity of the framing business to The
Bulletin and artists’ studios was the reason
SA Parker Framers became the
biggest suppliers of quality frames to the art community. Many of the frames
made for those artists still hang today in the Art Gallery of NSW. Parker frames
known grace the works of George W. Lambert, Hans Heyson, Grace Cossington-Smith
and Margaret Preston. A record of S.A Parker framing was made in a recent book
published by the Art Gallery of NSW after the donation of historical records and
photographs to the AGNSW by the Parker family.
SA Parker Pty.Ltd. was renamed Parker Galleries and late and still trading today
as Parkers Sydney Fine Art Supplies pty ltd
Parkers Sydney Fine Art Supplies is still owned and operated today by
members of the Parker family within the Rocks Precinct of NSW, providing quality
art supplies, stretching and framing to Australian and International artists.
