Chair for the archbishop made of oak — custom altar furniture

"The place of the sanctuary is arranged with the same reverence as the service itself" — thus, every detail of the altar serves the order and dignity of the temple.

The episcopal chair is a necessary attribute of the eastern part of the altar. During the episcopal service, the bishop sits in this chair, while the priests serving with him are positioned on benches on either side of the pulpit. The piece is made from solid oak, individually tailored to the parameters and style of decoration of a specific temple.

Purpose of the Product

The chair is usually richly decorated, and carpets are laid around it during the service. Sometimes the episcopal chair is made as a single piece with the icon case for the Almighty. If there is little space between the altar and the eastern wall of the altar, the chair may be made in the form of a small pouf — in any case, it must organically fit into the overall style of the altar part of the temple.
