Footnote
Thomas and George Seddon took over the family business and continued to operate from the existing premises at London House until 1826 when they opened a showroom at 16 Lower Grosvenor Street. In 1827 they entered into a four-year partnership with Nicholas Morel to provide furnishings for Windsor Castle, resulting in the firm being awarded a Royal Warrant in 1832.
