ORIGINAL UNUSUAL HANDLES.

An identical chest labelled T&G Seddon and bearing the firm\'s Aldersgate Street address and inscribed \'1786\' and \'Jaime\'? formerly with Carlton Hobbs Ltd., is illustrated in C.Gilbert, Marked London Furniture 1700-1840, Leeds 1996, p.414, pl.823.

The unusual handle pattern utilised by Seddon on the lot offered here is seen on bedroom furniture supplied by Morel and Seddon to George IV for Windsor Castle. These include a mahogany chest of drawers circa 1828 (RCIN 21707), see H.Roberts, For the Kings Pleasure, The Furnishing and Decoration of George IV\'s Apartments at Windsor Castle, London 2001, p.284, pl.361, on an elm and giltwood secrectaire, now in a private collection, on a further rosewood secretaire (RCIN 90169), see H.Roberts, ioffer., p.317, fig 398, and p.327, fig 409. An unidentified cabinet from Windsor Castle with this handle pattern was sold Phillips London, 22 April 1986, lot 73.

The firm of George Seddon existed in various manifestations between 1753 and 1868 and was one of London\'s leading furniture producers in the later part of the 18th century. T & G Seddon were Thomas Seddon II and George Seddon III, nephews of the original George Seddon and received a Royal Warrant in 1832. The firm\'s move from Aldersgate Street to Grays Inn Road is thought to have taken place around the same time. The firm was plagued by financial problems beginning with Morel and Seddon\'s difficulties in extracting payment relating to works undertaken at Windsor Castle, the firm\'s financial fortunes were always to remain in the balance.

Morel and Seddon\'s partnership was primarily formed to carry out the Windsor Castle commission, Nicholas Morel having been chosen by the King as the furniture maker in charge of re-furnishing the Castle. Morel was in charge of the major artistic decisions and George Seddon III\'s extensive workshops provided experienced draughtsmen managers and skilled workmen, Seddon himself also running the business side of the project. A series of seventy drawings showing the proposed schemes of decoration in many cases bear the King\'s annotations and approval, these drawings were sold Sotheby\'s, London 9 April 1970.
