介绍（中）	装饰这个盒子顶部、底部和侧面的黑色面板是为了模仿日本漆，这在整个18世纪的法国非常流行。事实上，这六块面板是由龟甲制成的，采用了一种被称为piké的技术进行装饰，在龟甲中镶嵌了极细的金银丝。所得到的组合物提供了接近黑色和金色日本漆的效果。这些带有皮克装饰的面板被设置成由仿红漆制成的矩形面板由于进口日本漆器的成本很高，而且漆器到达法国所需的时间很长，因此开发法国替代亚洲漆器的动力相当大。1730年，纪尧姆·马丁（公元1749年）获得了一项专利。马丁、他的兄弟们，以及最终他的其他家庭成员，在生产法国版亚洲漆器方面取得了巨大的成功，以至于vernis Martin一词成为十八世纪中叶法国生产的所有漆器的通用名称。在这一时期，用维尼斯·马丁装饰的家具尤其流行这个盒子的皮克和仿红漆面板镶嵌在一个镀金框架中，框架上涂有珐琅，并带有整体菱形图案。这种将不同材料的面板放置在金框架中的做法被称为安装笼。盒子的内部有Jean Ducrollay的标志，他是本世纪中叶巴黎最杰出的金匠之一。他的专长之一是用日本和法国的漆皮制作金盒子。
介绍（英）	The shaped black panels that decorate the top, bottom, and sides of this box were intended to imitate Japanese lacquer, which was very much in fashion in France throughout the eighteenth century. The six panels are in fact made of tortoiseshell decorated in a technique known as piqué, in which extremely thin gold and silver wire is inlaid in the shell. The resulting compositions provide a close approximation of black-and-gold Japanese lacquer. These panels with piqué decoration are set into rectangular panels made of imitation red lacquer. Because of the high cost of importing Japanese lacquer — and the length of time it took the lacquer to reach France — there was considerable impetus to develop a French alternative to Asian lacquers. In 1730 a patent was given to Guillaume Martin (d. 1749). Martin, his brothers, and eventually other members of his family were so successful in producing a French version of Asian lacquer that the term vernis Martin became the common designation for all lacquer produced in France in the middle decades of the eighteenth century. Furniture decorated with vernis Martin was particularly popular during this period. The piqué and imitation red lacquer panels of this box are set in a gold frame that has been enameled and chased with an overall lozenge pattern. This practice of setting panels of different materials into a gold frame was known as mounting à cage. The interior of the box bears the mark of Jean Ducrollay, one of the most prominent Parisian goldsmiths working in the middle decades of the century. One of his specialties was the production of gold boxes with panels of lacquer, both Japanese and French.
