About Us

Our passion that started in 1991 still carries true today.



Parker Southern is the sister company of Temple Furniture, which was founded in 1962 by the late Cecil and Mossie Parker. Cecil and Mossie had two sons, Tony and Gary Parker, who together formed the second generation owners of Temple Furniture.

Tony's son, Adrian, founded Parker Southern in 1991. In 2003, Parker Southern became a part of the Temple family. Since day one, Parker Southern has made a commitment to building the finest quality furniture available. Each piece is unique in design, featuring handcrafted frames made of kiln-dried hardwoods. Parker Southern offers many distinctive finishes that are hand applied at no additional cost. To provide superior comfort, each chair contains sinous-spring or pocket coil construction.

Every detail, from comfort and durability to design and aesthetics, is considered when producing furniture in the Parker Southern factory.

The third generation, Adrian, Angie, Kim and Rebecca, now own and manage both companies, pouring their hearts and soul into their work every day. Manufacturing high-quality, American-made furniture has been near and dear to this family's heart for over 60 years, and their passion for their craft shows in each and every piece.
