<td width="100%">
A very significant chest of drawers by one of the most well
known furniture makers of the Georgian era, George Seddon.
This fabulous little dresser is made of solid cuban mahogany
and still retains its original hardware. Conserved and preserved
over two centuries, the original patina is exceptional. You just
don't see pieces of this quality - the wide old growth timbers
that were personally selected just don't exist anymore. The
bracket feet, dovetails, hand wrought nails and even the glides
for the drawers all confirm that this was the work of a master.
Stamp of G. W. Seddon is on the top drawer to the left of the
lock. Still has two keys. Seddon at one point employed over
400 craftsmen ranging from locksmiths and iron mongers, to
glassmakers as well as the carpenters and cabinetmakers. More
photos available.
