Masonic Chairs

Their symbols go back in time hundreds of years and are part of Masonic history.  Here are some photos and drawings of them. 

Scroll down the page, as I have left the photos at their original size so you can see their hand carved and highly ornate detail work.

The pictures and images, below are courtesy of Trepanier Lodge No. 83, A.F. & A.M. - G.R.B.C. & Y.

Enjoy!
