介绍（中）	由银色和镜面玻璃制成的餐桌中心装饰品在美国很少制造；目前已知的只有三个，其中一个在美国之翼的收藏中（见1993.167）。这个由纽约银匠本杰明·哈尔斯特德（Benjamin Halsted）标记的八角形例子展示了新古典主义设计中干净、简洁的线条。它的八个铸脚焊接在一个铜片底座上，底座上钉有雕刻的银色边框和一个简单的内模，用于固定镜面区域。后来增加了绞合线手柄，以便于起吊和搬运 Benjamin Halsted最为人所知的是他与纽约银匠Myer Myers的短暂合作。Halsted的印记主要出现在餐具上，很少出现在这种规模和复杂的物品上。根据家族传统，高原是为丹尼尔·克罗姆林·韦普兰克（1761-1834，见49.12）建造的，他是朱迪斯·克罗姆林和塞缪尔·韦普兰克的长子，他们的家具在博物馆的韦普兰克室（718号画廊）展出。
介绍（英）	Table centerpieces constructed of silver and mirrored glass were rarely made in America; only three are known today, one of which is in the American Wing’s collection (see 1993.167). This octagonal example marked by the New York silversmith Benjamin Halsted displays the clean, spare lines of Neoclassical design. Its eight cast feet are soldered to a sheet copper base, onto which are pinned engraved silver borders and a simple inner molding that secures the mirrored expanse. The twisted wire handles were added later to facilitate lifting and carrying. Benjamin Halsted is best known for his short-lived partnership with New York silversmith Myer Myers. Halsted's mark, which appears primarily on flatware, is seldom encountered on objects of this scale and sophistication. According to family tradition, the plateau was made for Daniel Crommelin Verplanck (1761-1834, see 49.12), eldest son of Judith Crommelin and Samuel Verplanck, whose household furnishings are exhibited in the Museum's Verplanck Room (Gallery 718).
