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.
