<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 333121, member: 5833"]Helps rule out possibility that it is an imitation made somewhere else. Looking again through images of prie dieux from various countries & periods, the closest matches are French 19th century. Obviously French manufacture does not mean it was not part of the household of the Duke d'Asti. The people in the forum who really know furniture (I'm not one of them) will want to see the underside & any places that show how parts are joined. They can read a lot in methods of construction & any hardware used.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
