A vintage French prayer stool / chair. For kneeling and praying on or low seating. This one is slightly smaller than most likely for a small lady or child rather than a man. Structurally fair, fabric is a little worn and tired. Probably painted white at a later point in it’s life. See further notes on condition below.
We pick these up whenever we see them and often have a few in store – see links below
