History
some early repairs, one front support blind stamped No 38.
A similar hall chair, stamped T & G Seddon is illustrated in C. Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700-1840, figure 821, with an Aldersgate Street label.
Thomas and George Seddon traded from Aldersgate Street, and from 16 Lower Grosvenor Street from 1826. The firm was awarded a Royal Warrant in 1837. The tapering reeded leg shows the influence of Charles Heathcote Tatham's designs.
"A man in armour ppr., holding in his hand a truncheon", representative of the ancient courtly figure of the Knight Marshal, is the family crest of MORLEY and MARSHALL.
