介绍（中）	这把优雅扶手椅的初衷并不完全清楚大胆弯曲的带软垫扶手的支架可能表明这把椅子是用作办公椅或办公椅的，可以将椅子拉到靠近书写表面的位置。然而，这一时期的许多桌椅都有可以旋转的座椅，但这种扶手椅的座椅是固定的椅子的靠背比惯例略低，可能是为了方便在梳妆台上用作梳妆台上的洗漱用品，用于理发或假发粉。就像办公椅一样，由于实际原因，梳妆台椅子通常用藤条或皮革覆盖，有时还安装了一个允许座椅旋转的机构无论是什么情况，谁负责切割和连接这把椅子的框架，这把椅子曾经可能有一个藤条靠背和一个藤椅座（现在藏在枕头下面）：乔治·雅各布，18世纪下半叶法国最重要的菜单师或椅子制造商之一，他的名字印在前排座椅导轨下面雕刻的装饰图案包括重叠的硬币、螺旋形缎带、卷轴和螺旋形扭曲的腿，这些都是1780年代新古典主义风格的象征。
介绍（英）	The original purpose of this graceful armchair is not entirely clear. The boldly incurving supports with padded armrests could indicate that this chair was intended for use as a fauteuil de bureau or desk chair making it possible to pull the chair close to the writing surface. Many desk chairs of this period, however, had seats which could be rotated but the seat of this particular armchair is fixed. The back of the chair is slightly lower than customary possibly to facilitate its use at the dressing table as a fauteuil de toilette for hair dressing or wig powdering purposes. Just like desk chairs, dressing table chairs were often caned or covered in leather for practical reasons and they were sometimes fitted with a mechanism that allowed the seat to swivel. Whatever the case might be, it is clear who was responsible for cutting and joining the frame of this chair which once may have had a caned back as well as a caned seat (now hidden beneath a pillow): Georges Jacob, one of the most important menuisiers or chair-makers during the second half of the eighteenth-century France, whose name is stamped underneath the front seat rail. The carved decorative motifs of over-lapping coins, spiraling ribbon, scrolls, and spiral-twisted legs are all indicative of the neo-classic style of the 1780s.
