I had to plunge my own throne earlier this evening.

Just in case you need a reminder of how good we have it today... this does NOT look like a comfy seat, and yet it's the best the EMPEROR could have 220 years ago.

Me, I'll take one of these... looks much more comfy...

Thanks Pan_Yan.
The throne belonged to Emperor Qianlong, who ruled from 1736-1795.
Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.

Having seen the picture of the throne and the guy standing by it, one question.

Does Emperor Qianlong translate into English as Emperor Wide Load?
