Not sure what you mean by "base," but obviously, it needs a bottom to keep out vermin. I'd say start with a rectangle of plywood that just fits inside the upright doors and nail or screw the bottoms of the doors to it. If you want the whole pantry lifted up a bit, you could use old couch legs or blocks of wood (if you want to clean under it) or a rectangle of 2x4s just a little smaller than the bottom rectangle.
I'm a little jealous!
Plywood, chunk of old solid door, MDF, 2 slabs of 2"x 12" lumber
If you raise it off the floor and what it decorative. Just use molding around the base to make look fancy.
