介绍（中）	这个可调节的烛台旨在支撑一个独立的烛台或烛台。立柱侧面的环控制着一个弹簧操作杆，该杆接合在一个钢棘轮中，并允许顶部设置在高达45-1/4英寸（114.8厘米）的任何高度。顶部镶嵌着一块Sèvres软瓷圆形牌匾。这块牌匾上画着一条宽阔的苹果绿边界，周围是一个白色的保护区，由一条带树枝和树叶的金色带子框起来；白色的保护区上画着一幅由花朵和葡萄组成的作品。这块牌匾没有任何标记，但根据风格可以追溯到1780年左右。腿是这个烛台的一个独特特征：每条腿都是一条风格化的人腿，末端是一个镀金的青铜底座，形状是一只绑着缎带的鞋子 Martin Carlin制作了许多带有Sèvres牌匾的烛台，通常在顶部下方添加第二个镶嵌托盘，在顶部上方的钢轴上添加一对镀金青铜蜡烛臂（例如Waddesdon Manor，纽约Charles Wrightsman夫妇收藏，以及费城艺术博物馆）。现在的烛台的精致和在坐骑上追逐的高质量让人想起了卡林的烛台，但其腿部和装饰细节与他的签名作品并没有那么密切的关系，因此可以进行强烈的归属。这一时期的其他橱柜制造商也制作了装有棘轮系统的烛台，包括Pierre Denizot（约1715-1782年）和Joseph Gengenbach，称为Canabas（1766-97年） [Bill Rieder，1984年]
介绍（英）	This adjustable candlestand was intended to support a freestanding candlestick or candelabrum. The ring on the side of the pillar controls a spring-operated lever, which engages in a steel ratchet and allows the top to be set at any height up to 45-1/4 in. (114.8 cm). Inset in the top is a circular plaque of Sèvres soft-paste porcelain. The plaque is painted with a broad apple-green border around a white reserve, which is framed by a gold band with branches and leaves; a composition of flowers and grapes is painted on the white reserve. The plaque is unmarked but can be dated about 1780 on stylistic grounds. The legs are a distinctive feature of this candlestand: each is a stylized human leg and terminates with a gilt-bronze mount in the form of a shoe tied with a ribbon. Martin Carlin made a number of candlestands with Sèvres plaques, often with the addition of a second marquetried tray below the top and a pair of gilt-bronze candle arms on a steel shaft above the top (examples are at Waddesdon Manor, in the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, New York, and in the Philadelphia Museum of Art). The refinement of the present candlestand and the high quality of chasing on the mounts recall Carlin’s candlestands, but the legs and details of decoration are not so closely related to his signed work as to allow a strong attribution. Candlestands fitted with a ratchet system were also made by other cabinetmakers of this period, including Pierre Denizot (ca. 1715–1782) and Joseph Gengenbach, called Canabas (maître 1766–97).
