介绍（中）	查尔斯·勒布伦（Charles Le Brun）是路易十五的宫廷画家，也是一位天才的装饰艺术设计师 1683年至1687年间，勒布伦的一些家具草图用纯银绘制，并提供给凡尔赛宫的玻璃画廊（镜厅） 1689年，由于需要资金来支付军队的费用，路易将这些技艺的奇迹熔化了；他们收获了大约20000吨的银条，证明了这些非凡物品的巨大数量。然而，在它们被摧毁之前，它们的形状和装饰元素被调整为镀金青铜和木材等价值较低的材料这张镀金的橡木桌子，可以追溯到1690年左右，有着带翅膀的半身雕像，类似于玻璃画廊（Galerie des Glaces）的蚀刻作品，它很可能是一件最初由纯银制成的更晚、更低调的版本。
介绍（英）	Best known as Louis XlV’s court painter, Charles Le Brun was also a gifted designer of decorative arts. Between 1683 and 1687, a number of Le Brun’s sketches for items of furniture were executed in solid silver and supplied to the Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors) at the Palace of Versailles. In 1689, needing funds to pay his troops, Louis had these marvels of craftsmanship melted down; they yielded about 20,000 tons of silver bullion attesting to the immense quantity of these extraordinary items. Before they were destroyed however, elements of their shapes and decoration were adapted to less valuable materials such as gilt-bronze and wood. With its winged caryatid figures, this gilded oak table which dates to ca. 1690, resembles one shown in an etching of the Galerie des Glaces, and it is likely a later and humbler version of a piece originally made of solid silver.
