George VI Coronation Stool by Maple Co 1937
Original stool from King George VI's Coronation at Westminster Abbey on 12th May 1937.
It is made of limed oak and sits on square chamfered legs. The underside is branded 'GR VI Coronation' and also stamped with the maker 'Maple & Co Ltd. London'.
It has been traditionally re-upholstered in-keeping with the original design in a lovely blue velvet fabric with gold embroidered edging.
Approximate Measurements:
Height : 19" (48cm)
Width : 18" (46cm)
Depth : 12" (32cm)
The stool itself has been well looked after and is in good condition for its age. The stool is sturdy and the joints were able to be strengthened to further prolong the stool during re-upholstery. Over time the frame has warped slightly which has made the legs slightly out of level. There are metal studs on the bottom of all four legs and two have been packed out some time ago to make it level again (see photo).
