介绍（中）	Adam Weiswiler原籍德国，1778年成为一名橱柜大师，并在巴黎圣安东尼郊区开设了店铺。在生产豪华家具时，Weiswiler几乎只为商人工作，尤其是为Dominique Daguerre工作，他为国际客户提供他的新古典主义家具这位才华横溢的橱柜制造商多次重复这种型号，称为"万托便桶"（意为一个抽屉被门包围的箱子），但通常在尺寸、装饰或材料上有所不同。门的使用使橱柜制造商可以选择漆面板或热带单板（其纹理有时类似大理石），而不会中断抽屉正面的水平切割。镀金青铜饰条框住了门板（右边是一扇双铰链和螺栓连接的折叠门，左边是一扇单门），使其具有画质。尽管Weiswiler经常选择桃花心木贴面来装饰他的便桶外部，但在这里，他使用了桃花心木和北非thuya木的组合，并具有独特的树瘤。Weiswiler作品的典型之处还在于角落处的柱子和装饰有垂直凹槽的锥形底座。
介绍（英）	Of German origin, Adam Weisweiler became a master cabinetmaker in 1778 and set up shop in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, Paris. Producing luxury furniture, Weisweiler worked almost exclusively for marchands-merciers, especially for Dominique Daguerre, who supplied his Neoclassical furniture to an international clientele. The talented cabinetmaker repeated this model, known as a commode a vantaux (meaning a chest with drawers enclosed by doors), numerous times but often with variations in size, decoration or materials. The use of doors allowed the cabinetmaker to choose lacquer panels or tropical veneer (its veining sometimes resembling marble) without the interruption of horizontal cuts for the drawers fronts. Gilt-bronze moldings frame the door panels (a double-hinged and bolted folding door to the right, and a single door to the left) giving them a picture-like quality. Although Weisweiler frequently selected mahogany veneer to embellish the exterior of his commodes, here he used a combination of mahogany and North African thuya wood with its distinctive burl. Typical for Weisweiler’s work are also the columns at the corners and the tapered feet adorned with vertical fluting.
