EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Coronation chair made for Edward I by Walter in 1300-01. Crafted with exquisite detail and precision, this wooden masterpiece is an iconic symbol of English history. The chair, located in Westminster Abbey, London, has played a significant role in the coronation ceremonies of British monarchs throughout the centuries. One remarkable feature of this historic chair is its purposeful design to house the Stone of Scone brought by King Edward I from Scotland. This sacred stone holds great significance as it represents the ancient Scottish monarchy and was used during coronations to symbolize their authority. Since Edward II's reign, every sovereign has been crowned upon this majestic throne, making it an integral part of British royal tradition. However, in 1996, a monumental event occurred when the Stone of Scone was finally returned to Scotland after centuries residing within Westminster Abbey. It now finds its home at Edinburgh Castle but continues to be utilized for coronations. The intricate carvings on this regal piece depict legendary lions that exude power and majesty fit for a king. Made from oak wood and crafted by skilled hands from the 14th century English School, this Coronation chair stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship and enduring royal heritage. In capturing this image through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of England's rich history and traditions that have shaped its monarchy over countless generations.
