介绍（中）	这款精心雕刻的山毛榉木沙发（小吃）上印有好几次印章：I. 让-雅克·波蒂埃于1750年被选为菜单大师。大约在 1775-76 年，他在巴黎波旁-维伦纽夫街建立了自己的工作室，似乎在 1780 年左右退休。框架的曲线形状，其顶部导轨围绕末端弯曲形成扶手，蛇形座椅导轨和七个短敞篷腿仍然是洛可可风格的表达。然而，沿着腿、座椅导轨、扶手和顶梁的连续成型，以及对称的花卉和树叶雕刻使这款沙发成为过渡作品。 Pothier通过引入希腊钥匙图案等古典图案，以过渡风格制作其他座椅家具，从而预示着向新古典主义的发展（见扶手椅07.225.60）。人们对Pothier的客户知之甚少。他的作品展现了高水平的工艺和对细节的高度关注。他似乎经常与最重要的菜单师乔治·雅各布（Georges Jacob）合作，因为许多几乎相同的作品来自两个工作室。
介绍（英）	This elaborately carved beechwood sofa (canapé) is stamped several times: I. POTHIER. Jean-Jacques Pothier was elected a maître menusier in 1750. Around 1775-76, he established his workshop in the Rue de Bourbon-Villeneuve, Paris, and appears to have retired around 1780. The curvilinear shape of the frame with its crest-rail curving around the ends to form armrests, the serpentine seat-rail and the seven short cabriole legs are still expressions of the Rococo style. However, the continuous molding along the legs, seat-rail, arm supports and crest-rail, as well as the symmetrical floral and foliage carving makes this sofa a Transitional piece. Pothier made other seat furniture in the Transitional style by introducing classical motifs such as the Greek key pattern, thereby heralding the advance into Neo-classicism (see armchair 07.225.60). Very little is known about Pothier’s clientele. His oeuvre shows a high level of craftsmanship and great attention to detail. He seems to have worked regularly with the foremost menuisier Georges Jacob since a number of virtually identical pieces come from both workshops.
