介绍（中）	这张四条腿的凳子展示了路易十四统治末期在各种座椅家具上发现的熟练雕刻形式。这种凳子，或称为桌子，由一个放在四条腿上的长方形软垫座椅组成。每条腿的顶部都雕刻有一个反向的C形十字架，上面嵌有一个包含叶理射线的玫瑰花结。每条腿都由一个雕刻成卷轴形式的木制担架连接在一起，卷轴与中心块相接，中心块以蛋和缎带造型为主题，末端是一个种子荚末端。在路易十四统治下的法国宫廷，塔博雷虽小，但经常装饰着丰富的挂毯和华丽的雕刻，是仪式和礼仪的重要组成部分。公主和贵族夫人在国王或王后面前为坐在凳子上的权利而斗争。在这张小凳子上发现的丰富的卷轴暗示了1715年路易十四去世后凡尔赛出现的丰富的洛可可风格，在他的曾孙路易十五的统治下，洛可可风格将蓬勃发展。
介绍（英）	This four-legged stool exemplifies the skilled forms of carving found on a variety of seating furniture at the end of Louis XIV’s reign. This stool, or tabouret, consists of a padded rectangular seat resting on four legs. The top of each leg is carved with a reverse C-scroll embedded with a rosette containing a foliate ray. Each leg is joined by a wooden stretcher carved in the form of scrolls that meet the central block, which features a motif of egg and ribbon molding and is terminated by a seed-pod finial. Small yet often embellished with rich tapestries and ornate carving, tabourets formed an important part of ceremonies and etiquette at the French court under Louis XIV. Princesses and aristocratic ladies fought for the right to sit upon a stool in the presence of the king or queen. The exuberant scrollwork found on this small stool intimates the exuberant Rococo forms that emerged in Versailles following the death of Louis XIV in 1715, which would flourish under the rule of his great-grandson, Louis XV.
