The medieval chair used in the coronation of monarchs is undergoing conservation work, to be ready for the crowning of King Charles III. The 700-year-old oak chair is described as 'extremely fragile' by conservation experts at Westminster Abbey. 📲
The conservator has already been working on the chair for four months.
In its original medieval form, the chair was covered with gold leaf gilding and coloured glass, with patterns of birds, foliage, animals, saints and a king. The coronation has a strong religious element, and Dr Gross highlights the sense of the ancient chair having acquired its own sacred status - as a "deeply mystical relic" - which was seen as "emitting a form of spiritual radioactivity".
