French "Prie Dieu" 10 1/2" tall |
 |
Rare Prayer Stool ON LAYAWAY |
 |
 |
 |
The
French prayer bench or “Prie Dieu” was a large part of the Catholic life
in the day, however not many examples turn up.
This rare one is extremely well constructed and in wonderful
condition for its mid-nineteenth century age.
It looks especially nice next to a French fashion and if she is
jointed, she can kneel and pray.
For that reason, a tiny antique prayer book is included, to rest on
the bench or atop the rail, both of which are upholstered with plum
colored velvet. The dark wood
frame includes the detail of an openwork Crucifix. |
