介绍（中）	1760年代，像这种带有上层建筑的女士写字台这样优雅的小物件在法国流行起来。这种家具被称为"bonheur du jour"，集办公室和秘书的功能于一身，说明了写信在古代制度中的流行。狂欢节很可能是由巴黎的商人或奢侈品经销商发明的，他们担任设计师和室内装饰师，一直流行到18世纪末。尽管这张写字台没有盖章，但它被认为是罗杰·范德克鲁斯（Roger Van der Cruse）的作品，也被称为拉克鲁瓦（Lacroix），基于这位最初的佛兰德橱柜制造商签署的类似作品。大多数表面都展示了花枝的镶嵌，而两端用来展示鼻烟盒或瓷器等珍贵物品的开放式架子上则点缀着条纹图案。完成的背面表明，这张写字台不是用来靠墙的，而是可以放在房间的中央。
介绍（英）	Small elegant pieces like this ladies’ writing desk with superstructure became fashionable in France during the 1760s. Known as a bonheur du jour, this type of furniture which combines the functions of a bureau and a secrétaire illustrates the popularity of letter writing in the ancien Régime. Most likely invented by the Paris marchands merciers or luxury dealers who acted as designers and interior decorators, the bonheur du jour remained in fashion until the end of the eighteenth century. Although this writing desk is not stamped, it has been attributed to Roger Van der Cruse, also called Lacroix, based on similar pieces signed by this originally Flemish cabinetmaker. Most of the surface displays marquetry of floral sprigs, while the open shelves on either end for the display of precious objects such as snuffboxes or porcelain, are embellished with a striped pattern. The finished backside indicates that this writing desk was not intended to stand against the wall but could be placed in the center of the room.
