介绍（中）	控制台桌子由一条腿或两条腿支撑，需要固定在墙上以保持稳定性，并被视为房间内部装饰的一部分。它们是由一组特殊的木匠制作的，他们是负责室内固定元素的建筑木匠，如镶板、凸边玻璃和控制台。与公会的其他成员不同，这些工匠不需要在他们的作品上盖章，因此很少知道是谁创作了这样的作品。这张十八世纪早期控制台桌子的围裙上有对称的雕刻，雕刻的中心是一个玫瑰花结，由两片滚动的棘豆叶框起来。这些大叶子的尖端顽皮地触碰着两只有鳞龙的翅膀，它们的尾巴缠绕在桌子的敞篷马车腿上，腿的末端是蹄脚。这些神奇的生物与法国雕塑家让-伯纳德·托罗（1661-1731）的作品中经常发现的生物有相似之处，托罗以其装饰设计而闻名。
介绍（英）	Supported on one or two legs, console tables need to be attached to the wall for stability and are considered to be part of the interior decoration of a room. They were made by a special group of joiners, menuisiers en bâtiments (litt. building carpenters) responsible for the fixed elements in the interior such as paneling, pier glasses and console tables. Unlike other members of the guild, these craftsmen were not required to stamp their output and for that reason it is rarely known who created such works. The apron of this early eighteenth-century console table displays symmetrical carving which is centered on a rosette framed by two scrolling acanthus leaves. The tips of these large leaves playfully touch the wings of two scaled dragons, their tails wrapped around the table’s cabriole legs which end in hoof feet. These fantastic creatures bear similarities to those regularly found in the compositions of the French sculptor Jean-Bernard Toro (1661–1731) celebrated for his ornamental designs.
