A vintage French prayer stool / chair. For kneeling and praying on or low seating. This one is heavier and chunkier than most. Structurally very good for age. Fabric has been refurbished at some point. 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

Age: circa 1920-30’s

Size roughly: 89h x 49w x 44d cm or 35.5h x 19.5w x 14d inches
Condition: in vintage condition with signs of previous prayer, wear and scrapes, tarnish and patina, fabric has been replaced at a more recent point but has a large dark mark to the front of the seat area – we don’t know if this will shampoo out, fabric otherwise good, one arm of cross has broken off at some point and been stuck on again – this repair is a little wobbly and may need some attention at some point, some signs of long gone historical woodworm 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. Please see all photos
Weight: 9.3 kg (over 10kg when safely wrapped, heavy and large so expensive to ship internationally)
