Surely this is just coincidence and you can sit on those chairs. Or is this a joke post?
It’s a nice touch from National Trust that they replicate through most, if not all, of its old buildings. Different places have different things. (Pictures of) hedgehogs and heather spring to mind.
Flared base.
Have done that for years
This feels flawed. I personally wouldn’t sit on decorative seats like the above.
But it’s just asking for people to sit on any chair where the pine cone has been removed.
Is the NT now employing the Von Trapp children?
Having worked in retail I can promise you that people will not read signs, or just ignore them.
Alnwick castle uses thistles
It’s the thistles you want to look out for…
I see The National Trust has played Chairy Coney before.
National trusts local to us use teasels. It’s definitely visually nicer than a load of “don’t sit here” signs.
They’re stuck to antique fabric, are they?
A passive aggressive pinecone
Jokes on them, I’m into that kinda thing (I really, really, really, really like nature).
Stuck? Or placed?

Last one I went to had holly leaves on the seats.
Wimpole Hall? They had pinecones a few weeks ago
Thistles, holly, pine cones – they all do it.
They can’t threaten me with a good time like that!
Some people pay good money for that sort of thing.
What a passive aggressive pinecone 😆
They all use something. The most frequent I’ve seen is teasels.
The place I was at the other week had thistles on the chairs that you shouldn’t sit on, and nice welcoming “you can sit here” knitted cushions on the ones that, well, they were happy for you to sit on. Nicer way to do it.
I’ve seen them stick dried thistle flowers on the chairs!
