Old St Nick, child on lap, perched on a splendid throne, is just about the most evocative image of the Christmas period.
Children are invited to whisper in Santa’s ear the gifts they hope will appear under the tree on December 25th, and it’s a moment that youngsters rarely forget as they dream of the latest gizmos and gadgets flying down their chimney on Christmas Eve night.
At Throne Kingdom, we’ve created a stunning collection of bespoke thrones fit for Father Christmas himself. Choosing a throne from Santa’s Royal Collection can give you and your loved ones a memorable center point for those pre-Christmas celebrations, and an opulent seating option on the big day itself.
Introducing Santa’s Royal Collection
The story of Santa Claus has been well told over the years. Most of us envisage a portly, friendly man with a long white beard, sitting on a resplendent red and gold throne as his elves bustle around the workshop, crafting toys and gifts for the children of the world.
At Throne Kingdom, our designers have captured the magic of this story with the creation of majestic thrones fit for old St Nick. Expect high backs, sweeping arms, and luxurious upholstery, finished with intricate designs and bright, bold festive colors.
Our Christmas thrones feature hand-chiselled mahogany frames and the highest quality materials, ensuring beauty and practicality. Allow us to introduce you to the most striking examples in Santa’s Royal Collection:
Santa’s Reindeer Throne
The archetypal throne for Father Christmas, Santa’s Reindeer Throne, is a true Christmas masterpiece. It features hand-carved motifs of Santa and his reindeer on the arms and plush, velveteen upholstery. If you’re planning to dress up as Santa to breathe the magic of Christmas into your home this festive season, this is the throne for you.
The Original Santa Throne
A Throne Kingdom reimagination of St Nick’s favourite chair, the Original Santa Throne is our Christmas best-seller. Backed by a strong wooden frame and a meticulously sculpted back, this throne is wide enough to invite young ones to sit on Santa’s lap to ask for gifts in the lead-up to Christmas morning.
St Nicholas Bench
If you’re looking for something slightly different, our St Nicholas Bench captures the Christmas spirit while offering practical, comfortable seating for two. You might place this bench in your hallway or in your living room close to the Christmas tree, offering the perfect seat from which you can watch your kids open their gifts.
How to Use Santa’s Throne at Home
Having Santa’s throne in your house will immediately breathe the festive spirit into your home. Here are just a few ways to use this signature seat for impressive results during the Christmas period:
Santa Meet & Greet
Dress up as Santa Claus and host a meet and greet for your children, nieces, and nephews. Ask them to put together their Christmas list and have them explain to Santa, on your resplendent throne, what they’d love to see under their tree on Christmas morning.
Festive Photos
Santa’s throne is perfect for capturing memorable festive photos. When you host family and friends at this time of the year, have them capture snaps seated on the throne. Such photos look eye-catching when uploaded to Instagram and Facebook.
Christmas Story Time
Another option is to use your Christmas throne to regale your kids with festive stories. Start with the story of Christmas itself and follow it up with wonderful stories like A Christmas Carol and The Night Before Christmas. Your kids will love snuggling into you while you read these wonderful Christmas tales, whether you’re dressed as St Nick or not.
VIP Seating on Christmas Day
Santa’s thrones also make a great seating option around the table at Christmas dinner. Place a throne at each head of the table to add festive flair to your meal.
Santa’s Throne Styling Options
The beauty of Santa’s throne is that it’s unmistakable. It will sit at the center of any room in the lead up to Christmas Day and will instantly add Christmas flair to your home.
Of course, it makes sense to pair the throne with other tasteful Christmas decor, such as wreaths and ornaments.
We encourage you to leave the throne itself bare; it doesn’t need tinsel, cushions, or throws to add to its aesthetic allure. The intricate woodwork and resplendent upholstery are impressive as they are.
If you plan on placing Santa’s throne close to the fireplace for story time, make sure you use a fire guard to protect the chair from unruly embers and sparks.
