介绍（中）	这是Franz Anton Weber为装饰华丽的镜柜或Spiegelkabinett雕刻的两张控制台之一，镜柜是富尔达主教阿达尔伯特二世·冯·瓦尔德多夫（1757-59年在位）宫殿的洛可可风格亮点。控制台对仍然保存在原地。这种镜面橱柜是一系列时尚客舱的标准组成部分，暗示了赞助人的绝对权威。在18世纪的德国，一位主教亲王作为地区天主教会的精神领袖和神圣罗马帝国的独立王子进行统治。在富尔达的住宅里，镜柜占据了二楼主教卧室旁边最重要的空间围裙中央的卡通图案展示了当地教区的主保圣人圣辛普利提乌斯。这张桌子上雕刻精美的洛可可装饰物和交叉的脚担架上栩栩如生的海马体，体现了黑森地区洛可可时期的雕塑品质和创造力。尽管Franz Anton Weber的艺术雕刻工艺精湛，但人们对他几乎一无所知，尽管他一定非常熟悉邻近弗兰科尼亚的相关作品。
介绍（英）	This is one of two console tables carved by Franz Anton Weber for the abundantly decorated Cabinet of Mirrors or Spiegelkabinett, the Rococo highlight of the palace of Adalbert II von Walderdorff (r.1757-59), Prince-Bishop of Fulda. The consoles’ pair is still preserved in situ. Such mirrored cabinets were a standard part of a stylish succession of staterooms that alluded to the absolute authority of the patron. In eighteenth-century Germany a Prince-Bishop ruled as the spiritual head of the regional Catholic Church and as an independent prince of the Holy Roman Empire. In the residence of Fulda the Cabinet of Mirrors occupied the most important space on the second floor next to the Prince-Bishop’s bedchamber. The central cartouche of the apron shows St.Simplitius, a patron saint of the local diocese. The extravagantly carved rocaille ornaments and the vividly characterized hippocampus on the crossed stretchers of the feet make this table exemplify the sculptural quality and inventiveness of the Rococo period in the Hesse region. Despite the superb craftsmanship of his artistic carvings, almost nothing is known about Franz Anton Weber, although he must have been very familiar with related works existing throughout the neighboring Franconia.
