介绍（中）	这张安装有Sèvres瓷板的小餐桌和工作桌来自希灵顿收藏馆，该收藏馆由查尔斯·米尔斯爵士（1792-1880）创立，他是英国王室银行家格林、米尔斯、库里和公司的合伙人。传统上说，查尔斯爵士是在19世纪上半叶对法国的一系列访问中获得这些藏品的。查尔斯爵士的儿子于1886年被创建为希灵顿男爵。1937年，他的后代将这些藏品卖给了著名的艺术品经销商杜文兄弟。尽管各种收藏家，如Calouste Gulbenkian和J.Paul Getty，都有兴趣购买希灵顿收藏，但最终大多数艺术品，包括17件瓷装家具，都是由美国商人和慈善家Samuel H.Kress（1863-1955）成立的文化基金会于1947年收购的。在Samuel的兄弟Rush H.Kress（1877–1963）的领导下，Samuel H.Kress基金会于1958年将这些非凡的物品赠送给博物馆，使其成为塞夫尔安装家具世界上最重要的收藏库。
介绍（英）	This small eating and work table mounted with Sèvres porcelain plaques comes from the Hillingdon Collection, which was founded by Sir Charles Mills (1792–1880), a partner in the great firm of Glyn, Mills, Currie and Company, bankers to the British royal family. Tradition says that Sir Charles acquired the collection during a series of visits to France in the first half of the nineteenth century. Sir Charles’ son was created first Baron Hillingdon in 1886. In 1937, his descendants sold the collection to the well-known art dealers Duveen Brothers. Although various collectors, such as Calouste Gulbenkian and J. Paul Getty, were interested in buying the Hillingdon Collection, ultimately the majority of the artworks, including seventeen pieces of porcelain-mounted furniture, were acquired in 1947 by the cultural foundation that had been established by the American businessman and philanthropist Samuel H. Kress (1863–1955). Under the leadership of Samuel’s brother Rush H. Kress (1877–1963), the Samuel H. Kress Foundation gave these extraordinary objects to the Museum in 1958, making it the foremost repository in the world of Sèvres-mounted furniture.
