Mazarin Desk, First Quarter Of The 18th Century

An emblematic piece of Louis XIV furniture, this Mazarin desk, named after the famous minister who served the king between 1642 and 1661, is in perfect condition. The spacers and the narrow space between the two drawer bodies are a reminder that this type of desk required you to sit "at an angle": one knee below the writing surface and the other outside. The choice of this position is then imposed by the wearing of the sword, always on the left.

Everywhere, inlaid kingwood in perfect condition draw elegant geometric patterns, among which we recognize motifs of ferns, butterfly wings and fans. All the drawers and storage space under the top are fitted with gilded bronze keyholes and are lockable.
