Contextual Overview
14 And the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty six talents of gold, 15 apart from the merchant men, and from the traffic of the traders, and from all the Arabian kings, and from the governors of the lands. 16 And King Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target; 17 and three hundred shields of beaten gold: three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. 18 And the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with refined gold. 19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind; and stays were on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays; 20 and twelve lions were standing on the six steps, on this side and on that; there was not the like made in any kingdom. 21 And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of refined gold; there was none of silver; it was not counted for anything in the days of Solomon; 22 For the king had a navy of Tarshish at sea with a navy of Hiram; once in three years the navy of Tarshish would come bearing gold, and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 23 And King Solomon was greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory,.... To sit on and judge his people; and ivory being white, may denote the purity, justice, and equity with which he judged; the white throne in Revelation 20:11 may be an allusion to this; the ivory he had from Tarshish, 1 Kings 10:22
and overlaid it with the best gold; for the greater splendour and majesty of it; not that he covered it all over, for then the ivory would not be seen, but interlined it, or studded it with it, whereby it appeared the more beautiful and magnificent. Such a throne of gold and ivory was decreed to Caesar by the Romans p.
p Appian. Alex. l. 2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
It is, on the whole, probable that the substance of the throne was wood, and that the ivory, cut into thin slabs, and probably carved in patterns, was applied externally as a veneer. This is found to have been the practice in Assyria. The gold was probably not placed over the ivory, but covered other parts of the throne.
