介绍（中）	这张桌子体现了英国和美国设计改革者从 1860 年代后期开始规定的现代哥特式风格。A. Kimbel & J. Cabus 的公司在整个 1870 年代都以这种模式广泛工作，将尖山墙、栈桥脚、切割线性装饰和精致的带子铰链等哥特式元素融入他们位于东二十街 7 号和 9 号的陈列室中展示的大量家具中。毫无疑问，他们的大部分作品都受到查尔斯·洛克·东湖（Charles Locke Eastlake，1836-1906）的设计理念的启发，他会赞成选择橡木，他认为橡木是"迄今为止用于外观和耐用性的最佳木材"。它安装在具有坚硬的对角线前腿和榫卯结构的栈桥底座上，带有中世纪风格的浅切口装饰、镀镍五金件、雕刻亚麻折叠面板和倒角边缘。突出的搁板打开成为书写表面，保留了其原始的红色百泽和金色冲压的红色皮革装饰，突出的中央柜上方的倾斜屋顶抬起，露出一个小的存储空间。
介绍（英）	This desk embodies the Modern Gothic style prescribed by English and American design reformers beginning in the late 1860s. The firm of A. Kimbel & J. Cabus worked extensively in this mode throughout the 1870s, incorporating such Gothic elements as pointed gables, trestle feet, incised linear decoration, and elaborate strap hinges into a large stock of furniture displayed in their showrooms at 7 and 9 East Twentieth Street. No doubt much of their work was inspired by the design philosophy of Charles Locke Eastlake (1836–1906), who would have approved of the choice of oak, which he considered "by far the best wood to be used for both appearance and durability." Mounted on a trestle base with stiff, diagonal front legs and mortise-and-tenon construction, it bears medieval-style ornamentation of shallow incising, nickel-plated hardware, carved linen-fold panels, and chamfered edges. The projecting shelf opens to become the writing surface, which retains its original red baize and gold-stamped red leather trim, and the pitched roof above the projecting central cabinet lifts up to reveal a small storage space.
