介绍（中）	控制台桌子由一条腿或两条腿支撑，需要固定在墙上以保持稳定性，并被视为房间内部装饰的一部分。它们是由一组特殊的木匠制作的，他们是负责室内固定元素的建筑木匠，如镶板、凸边玻璃和控制台。与公会的其他成员不同，这些工匠不需要在他们的作品上盖章，因此很少知道是谁创作了这样的作品。桌子围裙的蛇形轮廓融入了一个镂空的卡通图案，中心有一个心形的凸起，周围是不对称的罗凯莱框架，两侧是滚动的棘叶和花环。双弯曲的腿上装饰着花朵的轨迹，脚处由一个向上弯曲的担架连接，担架的中心装饰着一个镂空的不对称的rocaille形式的cartouche，滚动的棘叶和花卉装饰。这张桌子被与Juste Aurèle Meissonnier（1695-1750）的设计进行了比较，后者是洛可可风格装饰艺术的领先和最奢华的先驱。不对称的浮雕和洛可可装饰的使用确实揭示了1730年代以来在欧洲大陆流行的洛可可风格的精髓这张桌子是Maison Leys的木制品、镶板和座椅家具模型系列的一部分，Maison Leyes是一家位于巴黎玛德琳广场的成功装饰企业。自1885年以来，该公司由乔治·霍恩切尔（Georges Hoentschel）领导，他于1903年在巴黎法兰德林大道（Boulevard Flandrin）的一个博物馆般的展览中安装了这些藏品。三年后，霍恩切尔将这些藏品卖给了J·皮尔庞特·摩根，后者于1907年将这些面板以及装饰师的其余17世纪和18世纪物品一起交给了大都会艺术博物馆。
介绍（英）	Supported on one or two legs, console tables need to be attached to the wall for stability and are considered to be part of the interior decoration of a room. They were made by a special group of joiners, menuisiers en bâtiments (litt. building carpenters) responsible for the fixed elements in the interior such as paneling, pier glasses and console tables. Unlike other members of the guild, these craftsmen were not required to stamp their output and for that reason it is rarely known who created such works. The serpentine outline of the table’s apron incorporates an openwork cartouche with a heart-shaped boss in the center surrounded by an asymmetrical rocaille frame and flanked by scrolling acanthus leaves and floral garlands. The doubly curved legs are decorated with floral trails and connected at the feet by an upward curving stretcher embellished in the center with an openwork asymmetrical cartouche of rocaille forms, scrolling acanthus leaves and floral ornament. The table has been compared with designs by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (1695-1750), the leading and most extravagant pioneer of the Rococo style in the decorative arts. The asymmetrical cartouches and use of rocaille decoration does reveal quintessential elements of the Rococo style prevalent in Continental Europe from 1730s onward. This table was part of the model collection of woodwork, paneling and seat furniture of Maison Leys, a successful decorating business, located at the Place de la Madeleine in Paris. Since 1885 the business was directed by Georges Hoentschel who installed the collection in 1903 in a museum-like display at Boulevard Flandrin, Paris. Three years later, Hoentschel sold the collection to J. Pierpont Morgan who gave the panels with the rest of the decorator’s seventeenth and eighteenth century objects to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1907.
