Mazarin Dauphinois desk in olive marquetry, Louis XIV period

Mazarin desk adorned with a beautiful olive wood marquetry opening with a large belt drawer simulating three. The central leaf is framed by two boxes each opening with two drawers.

The drawers have the originality of displaying an alternation of patterns in reserve between diamonds and stylized hexagons.
The top with sophisticated geometric patterns demonstrates a particular application in its details, in particular the contours of the main diamond passing alternately above and below the central rectangle.

The offset uprights extend over sheathed feet whose edge faces us and are connected by two curved X-shaped spacers.

This elegant piece is made of olive wood, ash, boxwood fillets and ebony framing the patterns, in particular the large diamonds on the side panels. These different species drawing geometric patterns are perfectly in line with the tradition of Dauphiné furniture and the famous productions of the Hache family.

Louis XIV period.
