A very fine George IV amboyna burl and giltwood center table attributed to T. & G. Seddon (formerly Morel and Seddon), circa 1835
The circular tilt-top with an ogee molded edge above a tapering turned, and acanthus-carved pedestal and a concave-sided triangular base with applied roundels, foliate clasps and scrolled shell feet with brass castors, the whole possessing vividly grained timber and pleasing mellow patina.
Several similar tables by T. & G. Seddon and Morel and Seddon are known. The combination of rich and expansive amboyna burl and water gilding was a favorite of the firm and many examples can be seen in Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and other collections.
