I would like to know what the translation of this character 「座」 would be, in this context (as follows). I think it's being used figuratively, which is perhaps causing me some confusion

江戸時代から続く、ものを蒐集する同好の集まり、一種の「座」にはそれを維持するための暗黙のルールがあった

Thanks and regards
 
座 is explained as ものを蒐集する同好の集まり. That should make it clearer.
 
Joadbres-san is talking about your wording "that doesn't help". That's rather rude to the one who spent their time to help you.

As for your question, 座 is originally close to "guild", as in the wikipedia page linked bellow, but I think it's more likely "club" in that context.
