介绍（中）	大马士革厅是叙利亚大马士革奥斯曼帝国晚期典型的冬季接待室（qa'a）。在现存最早的、几乎完整的同类室内设计中，房间的规模大，装饰精致，表明它是一个重要的富裕家庭的一部分。墙上刻有的诗歌表明，赞助人是穆斯林，可能是自称是先知穆罕默德后裔的宗教精英成员。大马士革房间，像当时大多数冬季接待室（qa'as）一样，分为两个区域：一个凸起的方形座位区（tazar）和一个从庭院的门口进入的小前厅（'ataba）。今天游客看到房间的开口最初是一面带橱柜的墙。（橱柜门现在安装在通往房间的通道上。富有的大马士革房主根据室内装饰的变化趋势和品味定期翻新接待室。因此，大马士革老城区的房屋及其内部很少可以追溯到一个单一的建筑阶段。尽管铭文可追溯到公元 1707 年，但在接下来的三个世纪中对房间进行了改动。木制品的浮雕装饰由覆盖有金箔的石膏、带有有色釉料的锡叶和明亮的蛋彩画颜料制成。这种典型的奥斯曼-叙利亚技术和风格被称为'ajami，具有不同的表面，可以响应光线的变化，创造出丰富的纹理。 'ajami 装饰的调色板最初比今天看起来更加丰富多彩和多样化。定期在表面涂上一层清漆作为维护形式。随着时间的流逝，随后的清漆涂层变暗，使大马士革房间的彩色表面变得柔和。大马士革厅装饰着四十节诗歌。
介绍（英）	The Damascus Room is a residential winter reception chamber (qa'a) typical of the late Ottoman period in Damascus, Syria. Among the earliest extant, nearly complete interiors of its kind, the room’s large scale and refined decoration suggest that it was part of the house of an important, affluent family. Poetry inscribed on its walls indicates that the patron was Muslim and possibly a member of the religious elite who claimed descent from the Prophet Muhammad. The Damascus Room, like most winter reception rooms (qa'as) of its time, is divided into two areas: a raised, square seating area (tazar) and a small antechamber ('ataba) entered through a doorway from a courtyard. The opening from which visitors view the room today would originally have been a wall with a cupboard. (The cupboard doors are now mounted in the passageway leading to the room.) Wealthy Damascene homeowners periodically refurbished reception rooms in accordance with shifting trends and tastes in interior decoration. Therefore, houses in the old city of Damascus as well as their interiors rarely date to a single building phase. Although the inscription dates most of the woodwork elements in the room to A.D. 1707, alterations were made to the room in the subsequent three centuries. The woodwork’s relief decoration is made of gesso covered with gold leaf, tin leaf with tinted glazes, and bright egg tempera paint. Known as 'ajami, this characteristic Ottoman-Syrian technique and style creates a rich texture with varied surfaces that are responsive to changes in light. The palette of the 'ajami decoration was originally much more colorful and more varied than it appears today. Periodically the surfaces were coated with a layer of varnish as a form of maintenance. Over time, subsequent coats of varnish have darkened, muting the colorful surfaces in the Damascus Room. The Damascus Room is decorated with forty stanzas of poetry.
