介绍（中）	这款卷帘桌展示了其制造商的发明才能，以六条腿而不是通常的四条腿为特色。中国风镶嵌场景具有伦琴单独实现的绘画效果，使用自然着色的异国情调木材的微小碎片。他的机械独创性体现在办公桌下部的工作原理上：当下部抽屉的钥匙向右转动时，侧抽屉弹开;如果按下这些抽屉底部的按钮，每个抽屉都会摆动到一边，露出另外三个抽屉。钥匙孔下方抽屉上镶嵌的字母组合DR表明橱柜制造商的满意度，因为他的作品很少签名。转动键盘命令哪一侧打开。内部装饰采用内敛的法国新古典主义风格，配有桃花心木和镀金支架。外部曾经色彩缤纷，因为中国风镶嵌镶嵌在枫木板上，也许是灰色的，让人想起 1770 年代后期流行的丝滑织物。就像戏剧的缝纫一样，它会掀起中国人生活的场景。尽管伦琴在德国新维德（Neuwied）维持着他的工作室，这张桌子是在1776年至1778年间制造的，但他的法国客户变得如此重要，以至于他在巴黎开设了一家分店，并于1780年加入了巴黎行会。
介绍（英）	This rolltop desk demonstrates the inventive talent of its maker, distinguished by six legs instead of the usual four. The chinoiserie marquetry scenes have a painterly effect that Roentgen alone attained, using minute pieces of naturally colored exotic woods. His mechanical ingenuity is exemplified by the workings of the lower section of the desk: when the key of the lower drawer is turned to the right, the side drawers spring open; if a button is pressed on the underside of these drawers, each swings aside to reveal three other drawers. The monogram DR, inlaid on the drawer below the keyhole, indicates the cabinetmaker's satisfaction, as his work is rarely signed. The turn of the key commands which side opens. The interior is decorated in the restrained French Neoclassical style with mahogany and gilded mounts. The outside was once colorful, as the Chinoiserie marquetry is set into maple panels, perhaps stained gray, evoking a silky fabric popular in the late 1770s. Like a theater scrim, it would have set off the scenes of Chinese life. Although Roentgen maintained his workshop at Neuwied, Germany, where this desk was made between 1776 and 1778, his French clientele became so important that he opened an outlet in Paris and joined the Parisian guild in 1780.
