The Viking Norse Throne Chair is a hand-carved solid oak throne with bold Norse-inspired carvings — built for storytelling, ceremony and anyone who wants a chair that commands a room the moment it arrives in it.
Originally designed for Viking and Pagan wedding ceremonies, this throne has since found its way into school libraries, reading gardens, event venues and private homes. It works everywhere it goes, because the carving is strong enough to hold its own in any setting and the proportions are generous enough to feel genuinely throne-like rather than decorative. It is a chair people actually want to sit in — and look at, and photograph, and gather around.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Your Version
We can adapt the carvings to include specific Norse symbols, runes, animals or knotwork patterns that are meaningful to you. For wedding and ceremony thrones we can carve names and dates, and for schools we can incorporate a crest or motto. We have made paired thrones for wedding ceremonies — if you need two matching chairs, get in touch and we will discuss the design.
Typical lead time is 4–5 weeks, though we can work around event dates and tight deadlines. Prices include VAT. Schools and organisations can order by purchase order and pay on invoice.

Finish
This piece is supplied unvarnished as standard. Left natural, solid oak slowly weathers to a soft, silvery-grey — completely normal for outdoor timber, a graceful way for a piece to age, and with no maintenance needed. If you’d prefer to bring out the grain and warm, honeyed tones, choose the varnished option (+£50) and we’ll hand-apply three coats of Epifanes, a premium marine yacht varnish.
More about the two finishes
Outdoor furniture takes a real beating from sun and weather. 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.
