Of course I omitted to mention Psa 45 (Heb 1:8) is a limerick to the king, who is God's appointed ruler.
His appointment like that of Moses and the Judges requires an appointer and here in Heb 1:8 speaking to its correct context we find Jesus coming in the glory of the Father (Mat 16:27), and thus sits upon a throne appointed him by the Father (Psa 110:1), hence it is called God's throne.
Therefore Heb 1:8 actually speaks to the ownership of the Throne, and much as he who represents the One who will one day receive it back from the Son.
Then cometh the end, when he (Jesus) shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
Nomad would be fully aware the Kings of Judah such as David, and Solomon sat upon God's throne, and doing so they represented (poorly mind you) God Himself!
It is not unusual for mortal men to be referred to as "God" -- much less the true Son of God.
Indeed, anyone who acts on behalf of God may be called "God":
angels: Gen 16:13; 18:13; Exo 23:20,21; Hos 12:3,5 men: Exo 22:28; Exo 22:6 and 21:8 (elohim); Psa 138:1; John 10:34 (cited from Psa 82:1,6).
