French 19th Century Ebonized Wood Tapestry Prie-Dieu, that is, a kneeler. Sometimes the arm rest has a sloped book stand or small desk instead. Prie-Dieu is from the French, literally "pray [to] God." In the 19th century, every devout Catholic family of means would have at least one of these in their home.
