About the Item
This 19th century French miniature upholstered prie dieu is a rare and charming devotional object, finely crafted in diminutive scale. Constructed from carved wood with its original black-painted and gilt-accented finish, the frame features elegant turned supports and a pierced cross motif to the backrest, reflecting traditional ecclesiastical design. The kneeler and arm rest are upholstered in a warm, aged velvet, secured with decorative brass nailheads that enhance its refined appearance. Designed as a miniature, it was likely created for private devotion, a child’s prayer piece, or as a highly decorative object intended for display. The surface shows gentle wear consistent with age, adding to its authenticity and character. Both sculptural and symbolic, this petite prie dieu makes a compelling accent for a shelf, cabinet, or tabletop, offering historical depth, craftsmanship, and quiet spiritual presence.
