介绍（中）	在18世纪，英国建筑和室内设计尤其蓬勃发展，这是前所未有的。托马斯·齐本德尔（Thomas Chippendale）的家具公司是这一发展的主角之一。托马斯·齐彭代尔（Thomas Chippendale）于1740年代后期定居伦敦，并在圣马丁巷（St. Martin's Lane）开设了一家商店，那里有几家领先的橱柜制造商。在接下来的20年里，他成为英国最成功的家具制造商之一，他的家具在整个欧洲和美洲殖民地都有需求。大都会博物馆拥有齐本德尔公司的两本设计相册，其中大部分用于齐本德尔的重要印刷出版物"绅士和橱柜制造商的导演"，这是英国第一本综合性家具出版物，于 1754 年出版。另外两个（扩展的）版本分别于 1755 年和 1762 年出版。这种国床的设计直到第三版才出现在"导演"中，可能是由皇室级别的人为特定委员会设计的。
介绍（英）	During the 18th century, British architecture and interior design in particular thrived as they had never done before. The furniture firm of Thomas Chippendale was one of the protagonists in this development. Thomas Chippendale had settled in London in the late 1740s and opened a shop on St. Martin’s Lane where several leading cabinet-makers were active. Over the next 20 years, he would become one of the most successful furniture makers in Great Britain and his furniture was in demand all over Europe and the American colonies. The Metropolitan Museum owns two albums of designs by the Chippendale firm, most of which were used for Chippendale's important print publication ‘The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker’s Director’, the first comprehensive furniture publication in Great Britain which came out in 1754. Two other, (expanded) editions were published in 1755 and 1762. This design for a state bed did not feature in the ‘Director’ until its third edition and was probably designed for a particular commission by a person of royal rank.
