One of the joys of being perceived as a company which is a bit unusual and extra-ordinary is that we often get unusual requests. Thus it was that we landed the job of supplying a throne to the Miss England organisers, a countrywide beauty pageant which ended last week with the gorgeous winner, a niece of Lynford Christie, sitting on our throne surrounded by the runners-up and drooling press photographers.
People have asked, "How did you get the commission to supply that amazing chair?" We don't really know is the answer but I gave the local press a somewhat fatuous answer saying we sell a lot of thrones in the recession as customers want to cheer themselves up in hard times and of course these words were printed for which I apologize.
The throne itself is hand carved mahogany and boasts two lion-head arms and claw feet. It looks great in any wood finish, but on this occasion we polished it in white and silver with lots of silver leaf on the detailed parts front and back. The cover was a milk white leather and the back was deep buttoned with heavy lead crystal svarowski buttons from Austria.
We were all pretty pleased with the result and the chair embellishes the Beauty Queen in a royal setting and we are keeping our fingers crossed for more demands for such unusual pieces, 'cos our team thrives on challenges.
Any more beautiful Queens out there?
