The highlight of the Chamber is the hand-carved mahogany chair for the Speaker. The chair sits on the dais dominating the room with its canopied solidity embellished with attractive carving.

As one enters the main Chamber of the Parliament of the Cayman Islands, the Speaker’s elaborate chair on a dais at the opposite end to the main doors is the single most eye-catching feature.

Hand-crafted of Cayman mahogany, which is a dense, strong native wood, this imposing specimen of dark brown furniture with its typical roseate hue adds to the grandeur and dignity of the Chamber. The contiguous canopy over the chair draws the eye up and over to the imposing high ceiling of the Chamber where the simple, yet elegant, chandeliers with their gentle, ochre glow add to the overall ambience of the place where the people’s business is conducted.
