Lord Raffles Throne Armchair

Originally created for Lord Thomas Stamford Raffles, who founded the British colony of Singapore, it features deep, large-scale solid mahogany hand-carvings of royal court symbols and massive growling lion heads that require over a week of work by a single artisan. The comfortable seats and deeply cushioned backs are hand-upholstered and double-piped on both sides in a heraldic jacquard of aristocratic gold, burgundy, and navy. This regal Gothic throne is topped by an ornate hand-carved mahogany coat of arms as an investment in fine European styling. Impressive paired or individually.
