Mathieu Criaerd, cabinetmaker, received master in 1738.
This desk can be attributed to the corpus of Mathieu Criaerd based on its characteristic marquetry featuring diamond-point motifs set within a trellis pattern. Among the most famous pieces displaying this decoration is the commode delivered by the marchand-mercier Thomas-Joachim Hébert for the Dauphin's private study at Versailles, now at the Château de Versailles (inv. V.4948).
