Antique French Prayer Kneeler St. Jerome Lion Catholic Chapel Carved Oak c1880.
Direct from France, one of two highly carved … more Antique French Prayer Kneeler St. Jerome Lion Catholic Chapel Carved Oak c1880.
Direct from France, one of two highly carved antique prayer kneelers (or “prie dieu”) from our most recent container.
The stunning panel back here features a hand carving of a Catholic cardinal, wearing period dress and a galero hat – supposedly it is Saint Jerome, with a carved lion on his right and carved Bible stand on his left.
Additional full-length carvings on either side include dimensionally carved characters and scrolls.
The slanted lower kneeler has a lift top for Bible storage inside, with carved beveled edges and large, carved paw feet on each side.
Rare and hard to find; well built and hand carved by craftsmen of the period, circa1880.
Measurements: 38.25” ht. x 25.5” x 16.25”.
NOTE: All of our antiques are direct from Europe. I personally select each item for the quality, design, and unique characteristics that you will always find in our distinctive inventory at Geaux Vintage Antiques. …” with all that, why ‘Geaux’ anywhere else?” … less
