Double oak prie-dieu from Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris
This double prie-dieu, made of oak, is a precious witness to the religious and artistic history of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. Designed at the end of the 19th century under the direction of the eminent architect Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879), it is part of a movement of rediscovery and promotion of the medieval style, particularly influenced by the research of Jean-Baptiste Lassus (1807-1857). Lassus, as an architect and historian of medieval architecture, inspired Viollet-le-Duc in the creation of this furniture, which reflects the spirituality and Gothic art of the Middle Ages.
After the tragic fire of 2019, the few surviving pieces of furniture, including this prie-dieu, were removed to allow the restoration of the cathedral. In October 2022, a consultation led by Bishop Laurent Ulrich of Paris led to the selection of new liturgical furniture, to be installed for the reopening of the cathedral in December 2024. This Prie-Dieu, a witness to the former glory of Notre-Dame, was acquired from a person who participated in the removal of the furniture after the fire.
With its imposing dimensions (Length: 105 cm, Depth: 60 cm, Height: 95 cm), this double Prie-Dieu is not only an object of devotion, but also an element of heritage steeped in history, embodying the continuity of the Catholic tradition through the centuries.
