An antique French prayer stool / chair. For kneeling and praying on or low seating. This one has had new fabric at a more recent point and this has been tatsefully done in red. Original springs seem good. Structurally very good for age. They don’t come much better than this. A lovely example. See further notes on condition below.
We pick these up whenever we see them and often have a few in store
Sourced: in Normandy, France
Origin: French
Age: circa 1920’s
Materials: wood, metal, fabric
Size roughly: 92h x 48w x 45d cm or 36.5h x 19w x 18d inches
Weight: 7.9 kg (Once wrapped safely this is going to be over 10kg so shipping is going to be expensive)
Condition: in vintage condition with signs of previous prayer, light wear, tarnish and patina, fabric has been replaced at a more recent point and has been done nicely and it looks to have seen little use since its refurbishment, just a few signs of long gone historical woodworm to its lower end and we have treated just in case – typical of old wood from France, joints are very good with very little, if any play which is unusual for one of these. A very good example – one of the best we have had through the store and we have seen many prayer chairs come and go over the years! Please see all photos
