John Pollard Seddon

A rare Gothic Revival armchair with carved dogs' heads to the arms, and inlaid dot details. This was probably made by his family firm Thomas Seddon (Seddon and Co), New Bond Street, London. Founded by his great-grandfather George Seddon, they supplied furniture to Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.

J. P. Seddon exhibited a similar style armchair on the Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. stand at the 1862 International Exhibition, illustrated in Jeremy Cooper's Victorian and Edwardian Furniture and Interiors, page 104, illustration 220, showing the original drawing and 227 (a variation of this chair) image attached. There is another version illustrated in Nineteenth Century Design by Charlotte Gere and Michael Whiteway, page 84, illustration pl 83 (last 2 images).

Interestingly, at one point Seddon's partner was E. W. Godwin, a friend of the Pre-Raphaelites, and some of his pupils were Ford Madox Brown, C. F. A. Voysey, and Daniel Gabriel Rossetti.
