Witness the majesty of the Coronation Chair, a symbol of British monarchy since the 13th century. This mysterious seat, believed to have housed the Stone of Scone since the 16th century, has been a part of every coronation since Edward the Confessor. From the Crowning of Queen Victoria in 1838 to King George IV in 1821, and King Edward VII in 1902, the chair has held the ancient stone, a relic of Scotland, during the ceremonial act of homage. The Coronation of King George VI in 1937, depicted here, showcases the chair's intricate design, the King's right-hand glove, and his two sceptres. A testament to history and tradition, the Coronation Chair continues to be a source of awe and wonder, reminding us of the rich heritage of the British monarchy.
