{"product_id":"carved-viking-throne-chair","title":"Celtic Knotwork Viking Throne — Solid Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Celtic Knotwork Viking Throne is a hand-carved solid Welsh oak throne covered in intricate Norse knotwork and runic engravings — a chair that carries the weight and presence of something forged from myth, and makes any room feel like a saga is about to begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe knotwork runs the full height of the backrest, interweaving across every surface in the continuous, unbroken pattern that Celtic and Norse craftspeople used to represent eternity and connection. The runes are carved into the frame — not applied or printed, but cut deep into the oak by hand. It is the kind of chair that people stop in front of before they sit in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Each chair is slightly different — the knotwork is hand-drawn and hand-carved, so no two are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal height: 150 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal width: 90 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside seat width (back): 40 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside seat width (front): 55 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat height: 46 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-carved Celtic knotwork\u003c\/strong\u003e — continuous interlace pattern covering the full height of the backrest, drawn and carved by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRunic engravings\u003c\/strong\u003e — Norse runes carved into the frame, each cut deep into the solid oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% solid Welsh oak\u003c\/strong\u003e — locally sourced, built for indoor and outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoose your finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — supplied unvarnished as standard, or add three coats of Epifanes yacht varnish for lasting colour and sheen (+£50)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade in Mid Wales\u003c\/strong\u003e — no two chairs identical, each knotwork pattern drawn fresh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can carve specific runes into the frame — a name, a date, a phrase, or a meaningful word in Norse script.

Left natural, an unvarnished piece simply silvers over time and asks nothing of you. A varnished piece keeps its rich sheen for a couple of years; after that the varnish may begin to flake or patch, at which point you can simply re-coat it, or let it weather back to that natural silvery-grey. Either way, your oak is fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"FreeRangeDesigns","offers":[{"title":"Unvarnished","offer_id":53500124627319,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1448","price":2280.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57213681926519,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1448","price":2702.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/celtic-knotwork-viking-throne-chair-7615795.jpg?v=1759412483","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-de\/products\/carved-viking-throne-chair","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
