介绍（中）	十八世纪早期的瑞典银器具有如此高超的品质，非常罕见。这些精致的烛台反映了北欧大学城乌普萨拉金银大师的风格调整和高标准的工艺。这些物品精致的装饰词汇构成了一个优雅而清新的版本，可以定义为瑞典对法国设计师Jean Berain风格的诠释。I687年，瑞典建筑师小尼哥底母·泰辛（Nicodemus Tessin）访问了凡尔赛宫，并对路易十四将自己奉为绝对君主的精心装饰深表钦佩。后来，负责斯德哥尔摩新皇宫设计的泰辛能够创造出当代法国成语的最佳典范之一，现在反映了瑞典国王在北欧的崇高和强大地位。法国艺术家参与了宫殿的内部装饰，从而影响了当地的工匠，例如这些烛台的制造商。然而，这种烛台形式的八角形切口支架与德国银器的关系更为密切，尤其是与奥格斯堡制造的作品有关。金匠在成为乌普萨拉银匠公会的大师之前，在作为熟练工的必要旅行中可能遇到过这样的模式和图案。
介绍（英）	Early-eighteenth-century Swedish silver of such a commanding quality is exceedingly rare. These refined candlesticks reflect the stylistic adaptations and the high standard of craftsmanship of the master gold- and silversmiths in Uppsala, a northern European university town. The objects' delicate ornamental vocabulary constitutes an elegant and refreshing version of what could be defined as a Swedish interpretation of the style of French designer Jean Berain. In I687 Swedish architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger (i654-1728) visited Versailles and was fired with a deep admiration for the elaborate trappings with which Louis XIV was enshrining himself as absolute monarch. Later Tessin, responsible for the design of the New Royal Palace in Stockholm, was able to create one of the finest examples of the contemporary French idiom, mirroring now the exalted and powerful position of the Swedish king in northern Europe. French artists participated in the palace's interior decoration and thus influenced local artisans such as the maker of these candlesticks. The octagonal, incised lobbed stand of this candlestick form, however, is more closely associated with German silver, espe- cially with pieces made in Augsburg. The goldsmith may have encountered such mod- els and patterns during the requisite travels as a journeyman before becoming a master of the Uppsala silversmith guild.
