A Pair of Parcel Gilt Amboyna Cabinets
By T & G Seddon
Constructed from prized amboyna with parcel gilt carved details, each cabinet of rectangular outline with rounded corners, surmounted by white marble tops of conforming shape above single glazed doors with lobed decoration throughout, opening to reveal a shelved interior, above plinth bases. Both bearing the label, ‘Manufacturers to Her Majesty. T. & G. Seddon no.2097, Gray's Inn Road, London,’ both labels inscribed with the original client's name: Thompson.
England, circa 1840
The British Museum has an identical trade label, donated by Sir Ambrose Heal, equally numbered and annotated with a client name, numbered 2387 and believed to date c.1839. Other labels of this design are documented, and must have been have been in use after Seddon moved to Gray’s Inn Road around 1833, and certainly after Queen Victoria succeeded the throne in 1837.
