The unusual handle pattern utilised by Seddon on the lot offered here is seen on bedroom furniture supplied by Morel and Seddon to George IV for Windsor Castle. These include a mahogany chest of drawers circa 1828 (RCIN 21707), see H.Roberts, For the Kings Pleasure, The Furnishing and Decoration of George IV's Apartments at Windsor Castle, London 2001, p.284, pl.361, on an elm and giltwood secretaire, now in a private collection and on a further rosewood secretaire (RCIN 90169), see H.Roberts, ibid., p.317, fig 398, and p.327, fig 409. An unidentified cabinet from Windsor Castle with this handle pattern was sold Phillips London, 22 April 1986, lot 73. The firm of George Seddon existed in various manifestations between 1753 and 1868 and was one of London's leading furniture producers in the later part of the 18th century. T & G Seddon were Thomas Seddon II and George Seddon III, nephews of the original George Seddon and received a Royal Warrant in 1832.

A William & Mary kingwood oyster veneered cabinet on chest attributed to Thomas PistorThe upper part with a moulded overhanging cornice and a cushion frieze drawer above a pair of cupboard doors inlaid with concentric circles and enclosing a fitted interior of eleven various drawers, the housing for two of the larger top drawers concealing sliding compartments with small removable lidded boxes, around a central cupboard door with a sliding panel and concealed box compartment within the door, the door enclosing four further small short drawers,  the lower part with two short and two long drawers, on later bun feet, the sides similarly decorated with oyster veneers, 119cm wide, 51cm deep, 180.5cm high The attribution to the London cabinet-maker Thomas Pistor is based on a group of pieces identified and previously with W.R Harvey including two kingwood cabinets and a desk to which the cabinet offered here is clearly part of the same group.There were in fact two cabinet-makers called Thomas Pistor, father and son, working for a period at the same time but at different premises. One or both are known to have made furniture of quality for Levens Hall although the group of kingwood pieces that correspond to the cabinet offered here do not relate directly to the Levens Hall furniture.From the 4-18 August 1950 Country Life ran a series of articles featuring what was then the recently rebuilt Buxted Park, a house reconstructed by the architect Basil Ionides following a serious fire and in one of the illustrations a kingwood escritoire is visible. Subsequently Christopher Gilbert commented in The Dictionary of Marked London Furniture, Leeds, 1996, p.44 that a “highly important kingwood fall-front cabinet inscribed ‘Thomas Pistor, Ludgate Hill, London’, formerly owned by the Hon. Basil Ionides, unfortunately remains untraced. It was amongst the Buxted Park furniture at Sotheby’s, 25 September 1963, lot 168 (withdrawn)…”. The whereabouts of this escritoire remain unknown and further details of how the pieces was marked remain uncertain.There was in fact no Sotheby’s sale on this date. A somewhat later sale of the Ionides’ property was held by Sotheby’s, 1 November 1963, in which lot 168 was described as “A William and Mary olivewood secretaire cabinet in richly figured parquetry…”. although no trade label is mentioned. It is nonetheless possible that this is the piece referred to by Christopher Gilbert. Gilbert was amongst the first generation of furniture historians to have begun compiling archives of stamped and labelled furniture leading to the publication of both The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers and Marked London Furniture 1660-1840 (1996). The Buxted cabinets appearance could well have meant that his attention was drawn to it by the furniture department at Sotheby’s while processing the Ionides property.The overall profile and proportions of the Buxted escritoire conforms to that of the cabinet offered here and the W.R Harvey cabinets as does the pattern of oysters visible on the frieze drawer, and there is a strikingly similar large radiating circular pattern. It is undoubtedly the same maker responsible for the cabinet offered here and for the two W.R Harvey cabinets, one of which is a near pair to the above cabinet. The two cabinets share virtually identical dimensions, profile of the mouldings at the cornice, waist and base. The size and layout of all of the drawers are identical and in both cabinets secret drawers can be found in the underside of the internal door and above the two top internal drawers and the use of veneers is near identical on both pieces. The interiors of both are furnished with two large drawers above and below the central door, three smaller drawers either side, and a small drawer immediately below the door. The veneers on the drawers are again almost identical, the chest sections have dovetails that appear to have been cut by the same hand. The internal door locks appear the same and most strikingly of all, the stylised numbers on the backs of the internal drawers and the corresponding divides were seemingly done by the same hand presumably in the same workshop.

A George III carved mahogany bureau cabinet attributed to Thomas Bradshaw The pierced broken swan-neck acanthus and egg and dart carved and moulded pediment above a leaf and bellflower carved frieze and a pair of Gothic arched astragal glazed doors enclosing two adjustable shelves, the lower part with a sloping fall enclosing a panelled door flanked by triple cluster column 'secret drawers' and six pigeonholes with pierced fret arcading, above two short and three long graduated drawers and a wreathed base moulding, on acanthus carved ogee bracket feet, 107cm wide, 57cm deep, 264cm high. The distinctive pierced cornice is a feature often used by the cabinet-maker Thomas Bradshaw. A bureau bookcase by Bradshaw with this type of cornice is illustrated in C.Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700-1840, p.119, pl.150. Bradshaw is listed as working at St.Paul’s Churchyard 1754-75 and subscribed to Chippendale’s 1754 Director. He was declared bankrupt in 1772, (see G.Beard & C.Gilbert, Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, p.99). A Bradshaw display cabinet of circa 1760 and formerly with Freshfords Antiques with pierced swan-neck fret pediment has comparable acanthus carved glazing bars, a more unusual feature. See Sotheby's, Important English Furniture, 30 June 2004 for a George III mahogany linen press, circa 1760, attributed to Thomas Bradshaw. A very similar unattributed bureau-cabinet, formerly with Hotspur, was sold Christie's, Important English Furniture, 6 July 2000, lot 150. A secretaire bookcase with pierced cornice, almost certainly attributable to Bradshaw and formerly with French & Co., New York, is illustrated in F.Lewis Hinckley, Metropolitan Furniture of the Georgian Years, 1988, p.138, Ill.212. Two further unattributed but similar examples can be noted in C. Claxton Stevens & S. Whittington, 18th Century English Furniture, The Norman Adams Collection, pp.192 & 197, the one illustrated on p.192 has a comparable wreathed moulding, whilst both have ogee bracket feet as seen in the above lot (although this example has more sophisticated feet) rather than the blind fret bracket foot which is often seen in Bradshaw pieces.
