介绍（中）	这枚Commode或五斗柜上印有四次首字母BVRB，表明这是橱柜制造商Bernard van Risenburgh ll的作品，他以其精美的亚洲漆家具而闻名。在大多数情况下，橱柜制造商使用的是日本漆：然而，在这里，漆是中国漆，很可能来源于一个经由印度东南部科罗曼德尔海岸运往欧洲的大型多叶折叠屏风仔细选择具有有趣图案装饰的单品作为抽屉和侧面的贴面，橱柜制造商会受到油漆尺寸的限制。屏幕的面板又高又窄，这一事实可以解释为什么在马桶的正面使用独立的、不相关的图形组。方形侧板展示了风景中奇妙的动物，可能不够大，无法覆盖整个区域，因此需要一个彩绘框架优雅的滚动支架发挥着重要作用：其弯曲的轮廓定义了抽屉和围裙的形状，而精致的罗凯莱图案的中央浮雕在视觉上将立面分为三部分。范·里森堡很可能手头有这些底座，或者他拥有这些底座的青铜模型，因为在他制作的其他马桶上也发现了相同的底座 Commodes于18世纪初在法国引入，并迅速成为时尚法国室内的主要案例家具之一。这种马桶的抽屉没有把手，因此只需拉动钥匙就可以打开，这在某种程度上是不切实际的，这可能表明，像这样时尚的物品主要被视为展示品，而不是用于实际存储。
介绍（英）	This Commode or chest of drawers is stamped four times with the initials BVRB, indicating that it was the work of the cabinetmaker Bernard van Risenburgh ll who is particularly known for his exquisite pieces of furniture veneered with Asian lacquer. In most cases, the cabinetmaker used Japanese lacquer: here, however, the lacquer is Chinese, most likely derived from a large multi-leaf folding screen shipped to Europe via the Coromandel coast of southeast India. Carefully selecting pieces with an interesting pictorial decoration to use as veneer for both the drawers and the sides, the cabinetmaker would have been limited by the size of the lacquer. The fact that the screen’s panels are tall and narrow would explain why separate and unrelated figural groups are used on the commode’s front. The square side panels show fantastic animals in a landscape setting and were likely not large enough to cover the entire area, necessitating a painted frame. The elegant scrolling mounts play an important role: their curving outlines define the shape of the drawers and apron while the central cartouche of exquisite rocaille motifs visually divides the façade into three parts. It seems very likely that Van Risenburgh had these mounts on hand or that he owned the bronze models for them as identical mounts are found on other commodes made by him. Commodes were introduced in the early eighteenth century in France and quickly became one of the principal pieces of case furniture in the stylish French interior. The fact that the drawers of this commode have no handles and thus can be opened, somewhat impractically, only by pulling on the key, probably indicates that such a fashionable object as this would be considered primarily as a display piece rather than used for actual storage.
