具低椅座與高而傾斜椅背的椅子，用於作為禱告椅或凳；此形式見於西元十七世紀，但在西元十九世紀的哥德復興時期變得特別流行。若是指稱具有托肘處與書架的類似跪臺，但並非為椅子形式者，則使用「禱告臺（長凳）」。若是指稱具有極類似設計的椅子，特別是屬於西元十八世紀，但主要供觀看牌局的女性使用者，則使用「膝式觀牌椅」。禱告椅可能是以粗糙的材料所製，例如木框加上藤莖跪臺椅座，或有可能裝上襯墊；可能包括放置祈禱書的架子。可見於私人寢室，偶爾出現在教堂中。若是屬於成套家具的一部分，則通常是屬於寢室套組。膝式觀牌椅則一定裝有襯墊，且通常與供男性跨坐觀看牌局的觀牌椅一同搭配，屬於較大型套組的部份。

Chairs with a low seat and a tall sloping back, used as a prayer seat or stool; the form was seen in the 17th century, but became particularly popular during the Gothic Revival of the 19th century. For kneelers of similar form having a support for elbows and bookshelf, but not in the form of a chair, use "prie-dieus (benches)." For chairs with a very similar design, particularly those dating to the 18th century, but intended for use by females watching card games, use "voyeuses à genoux." Prie-dieu chairs may be made of humble materials, such as a wooden frame with a rattan seat-kneeler, or they may be upholstered; they may include a shelf for prayer books. They are found in private chambers and occasionally in churches. If they are part of a set, it is usually a bedroom set. Voyeuses à genoux are always upholstered, and are generally part of a larger set along with voyeuses intended for males to sit astride while watching card games.
