Orthodox Bishop’s Throne – Hand-Carved with Open Sides and Cross (Style 466)
This majestic Orthodox Bishop’s Throne, also known as the Parathrone, is handcrafted from solid wood and designed in the traditional Byzantine style of ecclesiastical woodcarving. The elevated design and carved cross finial emphasize its ceremonial importance, while the upholstered seat provides both comfort and visual richness.
Ideal for use in Orthodox churches, chapels, and monasteries, this throne serves as a focal point within the nave and reflects the sacred authority of the bishop’s role. Its classic proportions and warm wood tones allow it to harmonize seamlessly with traditional iconostasis and church furnishings.
Each piece is crafted with care and attention to detail, making it suitable for long-term liturgical use.
Material:
This throne is thoughtfully constructed using a combination of solid hardwood and finely finished engineered materials to ensure both beauty and structural integrity. The legs, armrests, and primary structural elements are crafted from solid beech wood, prized for its strength, durability, and smooth grain.
The back panel, seat base, and pedestal are made from high-quality MDF, expertly veneered with natural wood to achieve a seamless, refined appearance that complements the solid wood components. This careful blend of materials allows for intricate detailing, stability, and long-lasting performance while preserving the traditional aesthetic expected of sacred furnishings.
