12 min read
A throne built to hold a stone—and a kingdom’s story.
Origins
- Edward I commissions the chair (c. 1297–1300) to house the captured Stone of Scone.
Today
- The stone resides in Scotland; loaned back for coronations.
- The chair shows centuries of wear; conservation stabilizes but preserves patina.
Bottom Line
Objects that turn ritual into reality.
