介绍（中）	路易十四统治时期凡尔赛宫的库存记录了400多个盖里顿式的看台。根据他们的身高，他们支撑着一盘盘食物和蜡烛架，如果超过五英尺高，还支撑着装饰性的花瓶或烛台这种支架的早期形式可能是基于支撑托盘的人形。到17世纪末，盖里顿主要是一个蜡烛架。茎偶尔包括人物，但更常见的是由非自然元素和风格化的装饰雕刻组成。这种装饰体现在博物馆的两个蜡烛架上，可追溯到1710年左右。上部由三个优雅的独立卷轴组成，卷轴上雕刻着拖尾的花朵，葡萄藤将三个卷轴绑在蜡烛架的下部。底座最初可能支撑在短发髻或爪形脚上。
介绍（英）	The inventory of the Palace of Versailles during the reign of Louis XIV recorded over four hundred stands of the gueridon type. Depending on their height, they supported platters of foods and candle stands or, if more than five foot tall, decorative vases or candelabra. The early forms of such stands were probably based on the human figure supporting a tray. By the late 17th century, the gueridon was primarily a candle stand. The stem occasionally included human figures but more commonly consisted of non-naturalistic elements with stylized ornamental carving. This kind of ornament is epitomized in the Museum’s pair of candle stands, dated to about 1710. The upper stems are formed by three graceful freestanding scrolls carved with trailing flowers while grapevines bind three scrolls to the lower part of the stand. The bases were originally probably supported on short bun or paw-shaped feet.
