Furniture: Thrones |
These thrones were modelled on
those used by Canada's Governor-General and her/his consort when
addressing Parliament. They were built for Kanata Theatre's The Dragonslayers, for use by the King and Queen: there is also a matching
stool, for the Princess. |

Although apparently of solid wood, the thrones are in fact constructed mostly of 1"x3" pine.

The components are glued and screwed together, using, of course, Robertson-head square-socket screws. |
