介绍（中）	法国ébénistes家族的后裔雅克·杜波依斯（Jacques Dubois）可能曾在他同父异母的兄弟Nöel Gérard的工作室接受培训，Nöel Gérard是1720年代和1730年代成功的巴黎ébéniste和经销商。杜波依斯直到四十八岁才成为橱柜大师，这是他职业生涯的后期。他于 1764 年去世后制定的清单显示，一个相当大的工作室，设有 12 个工作台，并有大量装饰有亚洲漆或花卉镶嵌的豪华家具，以及大量镀金青铜支架。以洛可可风格执行，这对马桶有一个蛇形炸弹正面和略微张开的蛇形侧面。正面被视为一个整体——两个抽屉之间没有水平分隔（无横移）——并饰有四分之一的郁金香木，上面镶嵌着拖曳的风格化花朵和叶子。紫色的木边框预示着支架在抽屉正面的位置。卷轴镀金青铜坐骑与叶子痕迹交织在一起，也可以在杜波依斯的其他作品上找到或归因于杜波依斯。支架的形状和位置强调了马桶的曲线轮廓。
介绍（英）	A descendant of a family of French ébénistes, Jacques Dubois, may have been trained in the workshop of his half-brother, Nöel Gérard, a successful Parisian ébéniste and dealer during the 1720s and 1730s. Dubois did not become a master cabinetmaker until he was forty-eight years old, relatively late in his career. The inventory drawn up following his death in 1764 reveals a sizable workshop set up with twelve workbenches and the presence of a large range of luxury furniture decorated with Asian lacquer or floral marquetry, as well as a large stock of gilt-bronze mounts. Executed in the Rococo style, this pair of commodes has a serpentine bombé front and slightly splayed serpentine sides. The front is treated as a single unit – without a horizontal division between the two drawers (sans traverse) – and is veneered with quartered tulipwood inlaid with trailing sprays of stylized flowers and leaves. A purplewood border foreshadows the placement of the mounts on the drawer fronts. Scrolling gilt-bronze mounts entwined with foliate trails are found on other pieces by or attributed to Dubois as well. The shape and placement of the mounts emphasize the curvilinear outline of the commodes.
