John Pollard Seddon
A Gothic Revival oak armchair, made by his family firm, Thomas Seddon (Seddon and Co).
Based in Bond Street, the firm supplied furniture to Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace and was founded by his great-grandfather George Seddon. He exhibited an almost identical armchair on the Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. stand at the 1862 International Exhibition, illustrated in JEREMY COOPER'S Victorian and Edwardian Furniture and Interiors.
Seddon also worked with E. W. Godwin, and was a friend of the Pre-Raphaelites. Some of his pupils were Ford Madox Brown, C. F. A. Voysey, and Daniel Gabriel Rossetti.
We also have two pairs of matching dining chairs available.
Width: 22 in (55.88 cm)
Depth: 23.6 in (59.95 cm)
