What makes it a replica versus just ordering another chair of the same model? Does it have the same exact scuffs and scratches and do they try to match the butt imprint?
Iāve had a truly bad day.
Canāt grade it higher.
Iām laughing and using those corner mouth smiling points that make you realize itās gunna be ok.
Thanks again
Sure but I'd probably wanna put my government fart chair in my house too. You know that one strange chair in the corner in a grandparents house you're not allowed to sit on? I bet that's how these chairs usually retire.
As far as I know, the real seats are the same ones from when Parliament first opened and are constantly maintained/reupholstered using the original horse hair padding.
That being said, I only read that today and could be completely wrong!
Its the same company that makes the chairs that makes the "replicas" i remember when i visited the house of commons (and sat in his chair) they said it was something like 2.5k to buy the replica.
It's a great chair. Build quality is very good, cushion is very good quality, the fabric is sort of velvety and has lighter to darker sheens of green reminding me of grass. The carpet is the same colour. I'd love to own one lol
The chairs are all the originals from the time Parliament was built, and are restored occasionally. When we increased the number of seats in the house we had to build new chairs to the exact standard of the originals.
The chairs in the House of Commons are custom made, so think of them like the presidents desk. You couldnāt order yourself one, but you could have a replica made.

Is the 'taking the chair' a genuine tradition for the outgoing prime minister or was he just being a rascal?
