beskrivelse:

The coronation chair of the Danish kings, used at coronations between 1671-1840 during the institution of Absolute Monarchy. The throne was made for Frederik III by Bendix Grodtschilling, between 1662 and 1671. The gilt figures were added during Christian V's reign. It was first used in 1671 for the anointment of Christian V and last used for Christian VIII’s anointment in 1840. Frederik III ordered this chair along the same lines as the silver lions, inspired by the stories of King Solomon from the Old Testament. To further enhance its legendary status, it was said that it was composed by unicorn horn. In reality, however, it is made from narwhale tusks, a material the Danish kings could initially claim almost as their own because of the Danish ownership of Iceland and the Faroe islands.
