The Mazarin desk created under Louis XIV is the predecessor of the base. The first copies of this type of XVIIth desk in eight feet will appear towards 1670-1680 a few years after the death of cardinal Mazarin, Secretary of Louis XIV. The oldest copy was realized in 1669 by Pierre GOLE ( 1620-1684 ) cabinet maker of King Louis XIV of whom its work is characterized by the application of marquetries constituted by ebony, by exotic wood, by scale and by ivory. Usually the Mazarin office presents a rectangular shape with two side boxes to two or three drawers. Enough spaced out to allow the position of legs under the tray , both boxes frame generally a drawer and a leaf. All is supported by eight feet in girdle or of shape curved which are gathered by spacers “H” or in “X”, the whole basing on turned feet.
