介绍（中）	伦琴制表厂以其四条、六条甚至八条腿的卷盖写字台而闻名，在 1770 年代以精湛的镶嵌工艺 á la mosaïque（也称为"木头绘画"）和装饰其外部的镀金青铜支架而著称。这个例子中的镶嵌图案出现在伦琴家具的其他地方，描绘了花和叶束缠绕在尖头种植工具周围以及系带的修剪刀。播种机或锄头与修剪刀和花束的并置，为从种植到收获的花朵构建了一个叙事。书桌的建筑内部包含鸽子孔和抽屉，正面采用绿色和棕色的条纹鹅掌楸木，手柄形状像狮子面具，上面拿着小镀金戒指。这张桌子损坏了，需要大修。前腿最初是可拆卸的，是无法拧下的固定替代品。两个下侧抽屉也被更换，抽屉正面的花卉镶嵌不是大卫·伦琴（David Roentgen）或其工作室中的任何大师。桌子可能被强行打开，对单板和表面、锁和内弹簧机构、抽屉本身的主体，甚至前腿造成了无法弥补的损坏。这证明了伦琴无与伦比的技巧，桌子及其复杂的锁很难穿透，以至于造成如此大的损坏，后来的修复师无法复制他的先进设计。
介绍（英）	The Roentgen manufactory was particularly well known for its rolltop writing desks with four, six, or even eight legs, distinguished in the 1770s by the accomplished marquetry á la mosaïque (also known as “painting in wood”) and gilt-bronze mounts that decorated their exteriors. The marquetry motif on this example, which occurs elsewhere on Roentgen furniture, depicts flower and leaf bouquets twined around a pointed planting tool along with ribbon-tied pruning knives. The juxtaposition of what is probably a seeder or hoe with the pruning knives and bouquets constructs a narrative for the flowers that follows them from planting to harvest. The architectural interior of the desk contains pigeonholes and drawers, with fronts in striped tulipwood stained green and brown and handles shaped like lion masks holding small gilded rings. This desk was damaged, requiring major repairs. The front legs, originally detachable, are stationary replacements that cannot be unscrewed. Both lower side drawers are also replaced, with floral marquetry on the drawer fronts that is not by David Roentgen or by any master in his workshop. The desk may have been forced open, causing irreparable damage to the veneer and surfaces, the locks and inner spring mechanisms, the body of the drawers themselves, and even the front legs. It is a testament to Roentgen’s unmatched skill that the desk and its complicated locks were so difficult to penetrate as to cause such damage and that the later restorer could not replicate his advanced designs.
