介绍（中）	从十八世纪中期开始，各种复杂程度的机械桌子就很流行，由几位著名的建筑师制作，尤其是让-弗朗索瓦·奥本和让-亨利·里塞纳。这张桌子被称为布尔戈涅的桌子，上面印有R.DUBOIS的印章，可以追溯到1760年左右。精致的底座突出了腿部和下边缘的优雅曲线。这些反过来又被描绘漆面板的精细金线所呼应，而包裹脚部的镀金底座则进一步精致顶部的前半部分打开，露出一个覆盖着原始棕色皮革的书写表面。当弹簧机构启动时，该表面的后部以机械方式升起，可进入三层共七个抽屉。其他制造商制造的家具上都有带有芦苇和树叶的角落支架。它们可能是从巴黎青铜制造商那里购买的，可以被任何一家ébéniste收购，也可以由商人或奢侈品经销商提供大约在1730年，用来自东亚的实际涂漆面板或日本面板安装家具成为时尚。在这里，可以追溯到1620年左右的日本漆被重新用作贴面。桌面最初可能是一个南班橱柜的前立面，被水平锯成两半。桌子的背面和正面很可能是同一个橱柜的侧面、顶部和背面，而门的内侧和另一部分可能用于上升部分。抽屉的正面可能来源于被肢解的橱柜——在某些情况下，它们保留了原来的珍珠壳边界。用于抽屉中央层的那块漆太窄了，所以不得不在左手边用一条单独的带子将其放大人们对这位在作品R.DUBOIS上盖章的橱柜制造商知之甚少。1757年，他当选为市长，在圣奥诺雷街担任橱柜制造商和经销商，专门销售玩具和机械家具他可能是更知名的勒内·杜波依斯（RenéDubois）的亲戚[见1982.60.57]，后者和他的父亲雅克（Jacques）[见，例如，1974.356.160]使用了I·杜波依斯印章。
介绍（英）	Mechanical tables of varying degrees of complexity were popular from the mid-eighteenth century and were made by several prominent ébénistes, in particular Jean François Oeben and Jean Henri Riesener. This table, known as a table à la Bourgogne, is stamped R. DUBOIS and dates to ca. 1760. The elegant curves of the legs and lower edge are emphasized by the delicate mounts. These, in turn, are echoed by the fine gold line delineating the lacquer panels while the gilded mounts encasing the feet add further refinement. The front half of the top opens to reveal a writing surface which is covered with the original brown leather. The rear section of this surface comes up mechanically when activated by a spring mechanism giving access to three tiers with a total of seven drawers.The corner mounts with bulrushes and foliage are found on pieces of furniture made by other makers. They were probably purchased from a Parisian bronze maker and could be acquired by any ébéniste or were provided by a marchand mercier or dealer in luxury goods. About 1730, it became fashionable for ébénistes to mount furniture with either actual lacquered panels from East Asia or japanned panels. Here, Japanese lacquer dating to about 1620 has been reused as a veneer. The table top was probably originally the fall-front of a Namban cabinet sawn in half horizontally. The sides back and front of the table were most likely the sides, top and back of the same cabinet, while the inside of the door and of another portion of the carcass may have been used for the rising section. The drawer fronts possibly derive from those of the dismembered cabinet – in some cases they retain their original pearl-shell border. The piece of lacquer used for the central tier of drawers was too narrow, so that it had to be enlarged with a separate strip on the left-hand side. Relatively little is known about this cabinetmaker who stamped his works R. DUBOIS. Elected maître ébéniste in 1757, he worked as both a cabinetmaker and a dealer on the rue Saint-Honoré where he specialized in the sale of toys and pieces of mechanical furniture. He was probably a relative of the better-known René Dubois [see 1982.60.57] who, with his father Jacques [see, for instance, 1974.356.160] used the stamp I. DUBOIS.
