Description

A very well proportioned late Regency Metamorphic Mahogany card table att. T & G Seddon, Stamped to underside with numbers 546. Good colour and superb quality throughout. Raised on ring turned feet with inset castors, the interior table top line in green baize. The table features the notable design feature of end supports that move closer together as their tops are swivelled and opened out, providing increased space for the players' legs. This type design was typical of the practical and imaginative designs of T.G Seddon.

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. George and Thomas Seddon 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.
