The Throne Chairs of Norway (Norwegian Bokmål: singular ''Norges tronstol'', plural ''-stoler''; Norwegian Nynorsk: singular ''Noregs tronstol'', plural ''-stolar'') are the physical representations of the Throne of the Kingdom of Norway. One stands in the building of the Parliament in Oslo, the political capital of Norway, where it is used in a political context. The other stands in Trondheim, the religious capital of Norway, where it was used in a religious context. A lesser known is the Throne Chair in the Council Chamber in the Royal Palace. In addition to the Throne Chairs, there are two coronation chairs (Bokmål and Nynorsk: ''kroningstol''), which are also located in Trondheim. Between 1671 and 1814, the Throne Chair of Denmark was de facto also Norway's. == The Throne Chair in the Parliament, Oslo == The Throne Chair was made in 1847 by Wilhelm Heinrich Hoffmann and placed in the Throne Room in the Castle of Oslo (the Royal Palace). Later in the 19th century, the Throne Chair was transferred to the Parliament, where it has been located ever since. It is, especially, used when the King opens the Parliament every year. The Throne Chair is covered with gold, and the textile is red. These are the colours of the King. On the top of the Chair is the Coat of arms of Norway. The Chair has two crowned lion heads, and the two foremost of the Chair's legs resemble lion paws. A golden lion symbolises the King. The Throne Chair is 207 centimetres tall and 100 centimetres broad. Two smaller chairs belong together with the Throne Chair; one for the queen and one for the heir apparent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Throne Chairs of Norway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
