Do Game of Thrones Right, Use This Iron Throne: Russian Craftsmen
Game of Thrones fever everywhere! Now, a 430-kg ‘iron throne’ in Russia. Because “a king should never sit easy”.
Blacksmiths of the Craftsmen Association of Amur in Russia have created a metal throne inspired by the coveted ‘iron throne’ from George RR Martin’s Game of Thrones.
The throne was presented to the city of Blagoveshensk in the Amur Region as a tourist attraction.
Each of the 387 swords of this throne is unique – complete with different guards, intricate hilts and blades.
It took about half a ton of metal to make this throne, which weighs 430 kilograms with the pedestal.
