Thomas Seddon

26th August 2013

 

Llandaff’s architect John Pollard Seddon worked with some of the most important figures in the 19th and 20th British Arts and Crafts Movement.  John Pollard Seddon’s brother was the PreRaphaelite painter Thomas Seddon.  Thomas Seddon introduced  William Holman Hunt, William Morris, Ford Madox Brown, Edward Burne Jones, Val Prinsep and Dante Gabriel Rossetti to his brother, John Pollard Seddon, who worked with and commissioned work from many of them.

In 1873 CFA Voysey became an articled pupil of JP Seddon

We thought we’d do a little spotlight onto all our designs the next few weeks to give more story behind them as they’re all so historic being licensed William Morris designs ✨ First designed in 1874, this is Lily, a beautiful design that incorporates the willow background with lilies and wild flowers 🫶🏻 The design must have been well loved by Morris himself- it was the wallpaper he used to decorate his bedroom at the gorgeous @kelmscottmanor - his home in Lechlade 🤍 Have you ever seen Morris’ Lily design? It’s one of our favourites 🤍
