Summary[edit]

Description
English: Photo from the exhibition "The crafts of the Palace - Created over 200 years" at the The Queen Sonja Art Stable by the Royal Palace in Oslo, Norway:
  • The Norwegian monarch's throne used during the ceremonial opening of the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget) every fall. It is a gilded wooden chair adorned with decorative carvings, the national coat of arms (crowned Norwegian lion, royal banner), lion heads, lion paws, and deep red textile for the seat cushion, back, and armrests.
    • The origin of the throne is uncertain, but it is based on drawings for a throne made for the Swedish-Norwegian king Oscar I in 1846, either for a planned coronation in Norway or for the throne room at the Royal Palace in Oslo, Norway. The throne was introduced in the Stortinget in the 1860s and transferred there when King Oscar II closed the throne room at the Norwegian palace around 1880. The Swedish king's coat of arms was replaced by the Norwegian national coat of arms after the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden in 1905.
    • The museum's description:
Throne; Gold leaf, wood, textile, 205 × 100 cm; The Norwegian Parliament's art collection
His Majesty the King sits on this throne during the ceremonial opening of the Storting (the Norwegian Parliament) each year. The significance of the throne is emphasised by its size, rich ornamentation and the fact that it is covered in gold.
The gold that we see on the throne today is the work of a gilder a few years back, but the gesso layer beneath the gold is original. Gesso is a mixture of chalk and glue that is applied in several thin layers (polymer) and sanded to make the surface smooth and the wood grain as even as possible. It is believed that the matt parts of the throne were originally gilded with imitation gold leaf, which was commonly used in Norway during the 19th century to limit costs. The throne has been restored and regilded several times since it was originally made in the 1800s.

Norsk bokmål: Foto fra utstillinga «Slottets håndverk – Skapt gjennom 200 år» i Dronning Sonja KunstStall bak Slottet i Oslo:
  • Den norske monarkens tronstol som benyttes ved den seremonielle åpninga av Stortinget hver høst.
    • Forgylt stol av tre med dekorative utskjæringer, riksvåpen (bekronet norsk løve, kongebanner) og løvehoder og -føtter, samt setepute, rygg og armlener i dyp rød tekstil.
    • Stolen har usikkert opphav, men bygger på tegninger for en trone laget til den svensk-norske kong Oscar I i 1846, enten til en planlagt kroning i Norge eller til tronsalen på Slottet i Oslo. Stolen ble tatt i bruk på Stortinget i 1860-åra og overført dit da kong Oscar II nedla tronsalen på det norske slottet rundt 1880. Den svenske kongens våpenskjold ble erstatta av det norske riksvåpenet etter unionsoppløsninga i 1905. Les mer om Stortingets tron-, dronning- og prinsestol på Stortingets nettsider her.
    • KunstStallens egen beskrivelse:
Tronstol; Bladgull, tre, tekstil, 205 × 100 cm; Stortingets kunstsamling
H.M. Kongen bruker denne tronstolen under den høytidelige åpningen av Stortinget hvert år. Tronstolens viktighet understrekes av stolens størrelse, den rike utsmykningen og at den er dekket av gull.
Gullet vi ser på tronstolen i dag, er lagt av en forgyller for noen få år siden, men laget med kredering under gullet er originalt. Kredering er en blanding av kritt og hudlim som påføres i flere tynne lag (polyment) og slipes, slik at overflaten blir så glatt som mulig og treverkets struktur blir jevnet ut. Det er antatt at de matte delene på stolen opprinnelig var forgylt med slagmetall, noe som var vanlig i Norge på 1800-tallet for å begrense kostnadene. Tronstolen er restaurert og forgylt på nytt flere ganger siden den ble laget på 1800-tallet.
