介绍（中）	这款精致而生动的侧椅是哥特式复兴风格的典范。它有一个美丽的背部，由开放的窗饰和细长的腿，从类似于矮小鹿蹄的脚上弹起。戴维斯是十九世纪美国最杰出的建筑师之一，曾在其他复兴风格和哥特式风格中工作。有时他提供房屋的内部和外部细节，与当时的大多数建筑师不同，戴维斯偶尔也会向选定的客户提供家具设计。这把胡桃木椅子是他在1857年左右为约翰·J·赫里克（John J. Herrick）设计的一个版本，约翰·J·赫里克（John J. Herrick）是戴维斯（Davis）曾经矗立在纽约塔里敦（Tarrytown）的一座城堡的所有者。几把椅子幸存下来，可以牢固地记录在赫里克的城堡中;它们的设计与我们的相同，但由橡木制成，规模略重。我们的椅子是为同一所房子或由同一家具制造商为另一个戴维斯委员会制作的。虽然它的确切起源尚不清楚，但椅子是博物馆最好的哥特式复兴家具之一。此外，它还补充了博物馆重要的戴维斯建筑图纸档案。
介绍（英）	This delicate yet animated side chair is a masterful example of the Gothic Revival style. It has a beautifully composed back of open tracery and slender legs that spring from feet that resemble diminutive deer's hooves. Davis, one of the preeminent architects of nineteenth-century America, worked in other revival styles as well as Gothic. Sometimes he provided the interior and the exterior details of a house and, unlike most architects of the period, Davis also occasionally supplied furniture designs to select clients. This walnut chair is a version of a design he made about 1857 for John J. Herrick, the owner of a castle by Davis that once stood in Tarrytown, New York. A few chairs have survived that can be firmly documented to Herrick's castle; all of them are of the same design as ours but are made of oak and are slightly heavier in scale. Our chair my have been made for the same house or by the same furniture maker for another Davis commission. Although its exact origin remains unclear, the chair is one of the Museum's finest examples of Gothic Revival furniture. In addition, it complements the Museum's important archive of architectural drawings by Davis.
