Oak archbishop's chair for the altar part of the temple

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

Purpose of the Product

The chair is usually richly decorated, and carpets are laid around it during the service. Sometimes the bishop's 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 stool — in any case, it must organically fit into the overall style of the altar part of the temple.
