介绍（中）	Pietro Piffetti（国王Carlo Emanuele III的皇家橱柜制造商）为他在都灵埃巴尼斯蒂和米努塞里学校的私人公寓提供家具，这件豪华的便盆是其制造商技能和他个人装饰艺术品味的绝佳典范。其蛇形形状参考了既定的洛可可风格，而后角的条纹则给人一种新古典主义黎明时的宁静。奥莫卢坐骑很可能是由意大利雕塑家弗朗西斯科·拉达特（1706-1787）创作的，皮菲蒂经常与他合作。深色木材的圆点点缀在胡桃木的荆棘饰板上，这不仅仅是马桶设计的一个元素；它们是木钉，将贴面固定在马桶引人注目的弯曲形状上，这是皮菲蒂发明的一种技术，也是这里首次使用。考虑到皮菲蒂制作马桶是为了装饰自己的公寓，这可能是工匠们在王室赞助的压力之外尝试新技术的一个重要例子。
介绍（英）	One of a pair made by Pietro Piffetti (royal cabinetmaker to King Carlo Emanuele III) to furnish his private apartment at the Turin School of Ebanisti e Minusieri, this sumptuous commode is a superior example of its maker’s skill, as well as of his personal taste in decorative art. Its serpentine form references the established rococo style, while the stripes in the back corners offer a touch of quietness at the dawn of neoclassicism. The ormolu mounts were likely contributed by Francesco Ladatte (1706-1787), an Italian sculptor with whom Piffetti frequently collaborated. The dots of darker colored wood that pepper the walnut briar veneer are not simply an element of the commode’s design; they are wooden nails that secure the veneer to the commode’s dramatically curved form, a technique invented by Piffetti and employed here for the first time. Given that Piffetti made the commode to furnish his own apartments, it may be an important example of the artisans’ experimentation with novel techniques outside of the pressures of royal patronage.
