<p>[QUOTE="Sydnie Roberts, post: 9531207, member: 82601"]Auction house data says this was an 18th century English prie-dieu chair. Then another sources said this came over with French fur trappers to the Great Lakes region where it was updated with birch quill work from the Mi'kmaq Natives Americans. I read prie-dieu chairs weren't popular until the 19th century. Love the chair either way but trying to learn which theories are most accurate. I'm not an expert but really enjoy the hunt for the historical information. Thank you in advance for your insights![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
