i think its important to know that the chair of saint peter is not the chair which st peter actualy sat on.
The
Chair of Saint Peter is a
relic conserved in
St. Peter's Basilica, enclosed in a
gilt bronze casing that was designed by
Gian Lorenzo Bernini and executed 1647-53.
The chair of a bishop is a
cathedra. The
cathedra in Saint Peter's Basilica was once used by the
popes. It was therefore often thought to have been used by
Saint Peter himself, but was in fact a gift from
Charles the Bald to the Pope in 875
