FROM THE EDITOR

DECORATE Coronation special

Seats of power • In the past, a chair and – in some cases – a matching stool, reflecting the tastes and manufacturing techniques of the time, were commissioned to seat those in attendance at the crowning of a British monarch. Thanks to the tradition of allowing guests to purchase their own chair after the ceremony, some of these can now be found in the halls and dining rooms of country houses nationwide. With their associations with royalty, pomp, design history and symbolism, these functional pieces have become elevated to objects of desire
