Playboy businessman Peter Stringfellow's throne being auctioned off for thousands

A throne used by famous strip club owner Peter Stringfellow is being auctioned off by his son.

The ornate black velvet, gold-painted chair, seated the King of Clubs and his VIP guests for around 15 years.

The playboy businessman, who died of lung cancer aged 77 in 2018, once bragged he had bedded more than 2,000 “beautiful” women.

His son Scott expects the throne to fetch between £1,500 and £2,000 in the sale by Hanson’s Auctioneers.

Its first location was Angels Club in Soho but it later moved to the iconic Stringfellow’s in Covent Garden.

It will be sold alongside a leopard-print tub chair with an estimate of £200 to £300, the last one from Angels Club.

Scott, 56, from Buckinghamshire, is selling the items as he plans to marry and move house.

Scott, a track racing driving instructor, said: “Dad always sat in this chair, his throne.

“The arms are decorated with lions’ heads but on the right arm, the lion’s nose is worn.

"That’s where dad used to tap his ring.”

Auctioneer Charles Hanson, who is selling the items off on September 27, said: “This is a vibrant piece of
nightclub history.”
