Mazarin desk, attributed to Thomas Hache (1664-1747), first quarter of the 18th century.
Rectangular top edged with burr walnut. The body has two lateral boxes with three drawers with crossbars and a central box closed at the top by a drawer and at the bottom by a recessed door. On a fir frame, it is mainly veneered with burr ash particularly moiré, bordered on the drawers and doors by inlays of acanthus scrolls in maple on a background of burnished maple. The field of the consoles surmounting the feet is veneered with a fall of fleurons separated by small discs, marquetry that we find on the shaft of a pedestal table in the book Le génie des Hache by Pierre and Françoise Rouge (illustration 216, p. 407).
