The Gallery of Battles at the Château de Chantilly was decorated at the end of the 17th century with a series of eleven paintings illustrating the main military victories of the Grand Condé, Louis II of Bourbon-Condé. It was designed by Jules-Hardouin Mansart, principal architect to King Louis XIV. The unusual writing desk with attached filing cabinet was made around 1770 for the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte.
